Polishing Silver!

My wife had a silverplate Santa candle holder she got from Restoration Hardware a couple of years back. For some reason, it really turned this year. I cleaned it with Tarn-x silver tarnish remover and that took most of the yellow out not all but the finish still looked horrible.

I had used NXT on some other silver pieces before to help protect them and paint has got to be softer than silver, so I figured what the heck, the thing could not loook worse so I went for it. I busted out the Scratch-X and polished for 15 minutes and man, that things started getting clean and shiny and the towel was so black. THen I used hte Meguiars and voila, better than new.

I did not take any pictures though, but I can try to get an after shot.

 

Try Wenol polish (Blue) too. It does wonders for chrome exhaust tips.
