Polishing Nickel Plate?

Post by Xenol »

I recently acquired a nickel plated helicon from the Ukraine. I like the instrument, however the plating is looking pretty dull (not parade ready). Is there any way for me to polish it short of reaching for the buffing wheel?

Before you ask it is nickel not nickel-silver ;)

https://www.amazon.com/Simichrome-39005 ... B0002YUQ4E. Get that, best stuff on the planet. They make a larger container, but that product is the greatest thing in the world.

I'll second Simichrome. Follow the directions and use very small amounts!
