Descaling of lead weights for reuse

Dear Sir

Kindly suggest me a solution which will dissolve or brighten the surface of lead.This is to use the lead weights which are already used.The solution must be risk free use.

Thanking you
with regards

You seek a material that is capable of dissolving lead but is risk-free to use? Nothing is risk-free, let alone a chemical strong enough to react with lead. Good luck :-)
