Consulting the Silver Expert

HOW TO POLISH SILVER VIDEO

This video shows how I polished a Paul Revere beaker using Earth Friendly Silver Polish,* cotton balls, and the occasional Q-tip.

The white translucent panel in front provides contrast, making tarnish easier to identify and remove completely. Total polishing time was 30 minutes because of the long-neglected surface. Removing tarnish that would have formed on these pieces over a period of six months may have taken only two minutes.

* Note: Earth Friendly was discontinued which is why I developed Herman’s Simply Clean Collectors Silver Polish, as seen in the photo below, and which achieves the same result.
