"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." -- Rom. 8:28
I have used the baking soda and aluminum foil mixture on heavily tarnished silver, it removed much of the tarnish, then used polish to restore the pieces to a high shine. So, for me it works. Polish is the way to go for a real shine. I also use a cheap battery powered toothbrush to get polish into the hard to get at spots. And I have used a variable speed Dremel with small cotton buffing wheels to get that polish out of the spots. But, elbow grease is going to be required for a final showroom quality shine.
Works well on slightly tarnished pieces; especially those with crevasses and intricate designs.
ReplyDeletePolish works better on heavily tarnished pieces.
DOn't know about silver, but regular Coke and aluminum foil do a great job of removing rust from chromed surfaces.
