Found this recipe for cleaning silver cases last
night. I have several and I hate using silver polish
because of the residue left in cracks etc. So I
decided to try it on my worse one outside only
with amazing results. Took about 2-3 minutes and it
looked like new. Hand sanitizer! The brand I have is
germ x. Dab on a clean cloth and rub. Then rub again
with clean portion of cloth. You're done. AMAZING!

Roger, you're brilliant. Just tried it on my 18S Elgin and it came out like new. Thanks for the suggestion

Gotta try that! Never heard of this before now.

Thanks for sharing that Roger.I wonder how that would work on a brass or silveroid case. Regards, Ted.

I don't know Ted. Try it and let us know.

Today I gave it a try on a rather dirty silveroid case and didn't have much luck. Switched to Simichrome, which did the trick.

I had to try hand sanitizer on silver , although the cases were not that bad , it seemed to work pretty good , on the silveroid cases I use a dremel with a buff wheel and tripoli polishing compound , makes a green one shine like silver! I like to buy a 10 dollar watch for parts and a good case !

I have used Noxon on silveroid cases, it really stinks but does a nice job! Has a strong ammonia smell to it.
