There's been a lot of great advice here.

I have been using Happich Simichrome polish, which works well. But I notice that if I buff a spatula or pad cup with a wheel and some Zam or Fabulustre and then go over it with Simichrome, some tiny cat whisker scratches appear. There must be some abrasive in it. This was on solid german silver stuff. Even Nevr-Dull, an impregnated cotton batting, leaves some tiny scratches on the german silver.

I don't think any of these products will scratch nickle plate, but I haven't tested that.

Question: what would you use on the gold wash in a metal bell? I don't know what a gold wash is. Is it a super thin plate of gold over silver? I sure don't want to remove it with an abrasive polish.

Thanks,
Ray
