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 | ||

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

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. Roger | |||

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. | |||
