    This should keep the wife quiet for a while

    I decided to clean up our silver service today. This is silver plate, not sterling, so you have to be very careful not to 'burn through' the plating, which requires very fine abrasives. The knife handles are hollow which does not allow for chemical dips. As such, I used a smat product, M205.

    Just rubbed on with a MF towel and buffed off. Needless to say, this is for food, so a thorough IPA wipedown was also done. This silverware is around 100 years old; so lots of swirls, RIDS and oxidation/tarnish. The tarnish came off with minimal effort, I've learned to live with the swirls and RIDS. I will be looking into the safest means to restore the luster, probably use a jeweller's rouge or something similar, I tried some chromium oxide crayon, but it wasn't doing the trick.

    After:


    Next, I need to find a food safe LSP (probably camelia oil)

    I enjoyed everything about this thread, including personal memories of years gone by...except for the MF towel.

    Good luck and God bless to you and the Mrs.

    Pretty neat, came out great. It's awesome how many other things around the house you can use detailing products on.

    Wolfgang Finishing Glaze also works great and it less abrasive.

    Wow...you're lucky:
    Takes a whole lot more than that to keep my "Good Wife" quiet for awhile!

    Good luck keeping any women quit, they don't like it.
