Silver Polish

Somebody just gave me a can of Wright's Silver Cream. Is this stuff O.K. to use on silver plated brass?

Wright's is OK and Hagertys is a bit better. However, there is one out there that I like better than either of them. It's called 'Mr. Metal'. A little hard to find in retail stores but it can be purchased direct from the manufacturer. Here's the link:

There's another polish for brass (not silver) that I really like. It's NOXON. Available at most hardware stores.

Will,

Go to Belk's at the Mall and look in the wedding gift section with all the silver...you can get a can of Hagerty's spray polish (it's what I use) for under $15.

Cheers,
Josh

I've discovered this stuff to be pretty good:

Rouge is the active polishing agent here (as it is, I suspect with Hagerty's) and it leaves a nice deep shine. Surfaces seem to resist tarnishing a bit better than with Hagerty's or Nev-r-dull, Mr. Metal, and Wright's (I've got 'em all). Maas is popular with the aircraft and motorcycle crowd too, as it can be used to polish plastic and fiberglass.

At the shop I work at we use a product called TarniShield, it is made by the same people who make tarn-x, and it works really well. The only problem with the hagarty's is that it often remains in the scratches on the horn and takes a lot more elbow grease. You will get the same result using less effort.

Hmmm, out here on the left coast, it's carried by Albertson's supermarkets. Runs about the same as Noxon--about $3 and change for an 8 oz. bottle.
