Review on Blitz 20633 Shine Liquid Polish for Sterling Silver-Plated - 8 oz (Pack of 2) - Premium Quality Polish for Maintaining Sterling Silver Brilliance by Amber Perez

I found this product while searching online for cleaning silver jewelry - I was very dissatisfied with the pathetic smelly liquids that can damage metal and leather. But I had so many problems every time I used old fashioned polishing paste. The wiki had a link to an article that caught my attention because I live in Indy, about the cleaning of a Georgian tea service for the Indianapolis Museum of Art. The curator favored everything natural, which again I had no luck with, but said that If you're struggling with thick dullness, the best product called Blitz was made in Jeffersonville, Indiana. He really knew his stuff! Unlike other pastes, it works amazingly fast, doesn't smell, and doesn't irritate the skin, although he and I recommended the use of disposable gloves. Simply smooth and then gently massage in with a clean cloth. When you wash it out, the results are amazing. I first used it on two items I thought were lost. One was a turquoise and silver bracelet my mother bought in the 1930s - they actually call it Depression-era jewelry. The other was a heavy, expensive silver lapel pin in the shape of a panther's head, which my brother often gave me for Christmas. I keep all my jewelry in protective pouches, but the pin disappeared years ago and I didn't realize until I got rid of the jewelry cabinet that it had fallen in an odd spot behind the drawer. He was only black with a touch. Rub this stuff gently and it looked better than new. I hope the photo shows how great he is now. The bracelet has a lot of whorls and grooves like many Native American jewelry, but if you put it on a Q-Tip and run it through the grooves and over the tuning stone it works very well. You might not capture everything, but the darker lines look great, so I didn't overdo it. I hate to say this because you always have to be careful not to get stones in contact, but it was difficult to completely remove the polish from the large green stone by scrubbing it around and the polish didn't harm it . An absolute miracle. And dish soap, so toxic I wouldn't even have to throw it in the sink, is gone from my life forever. The only downside I can think of is that it dries out quite a bit as soon as you open the bottle. quickly. I would say six months. However, the miserable bath deteriorates much faster and develops some kind of crystals in it. I ordered some Blitz wipes but haven't tried them yet. As for the bottles, I've just ordered more and maybe next time I'll try to keep the unopened bottle in a ziplock bag. But the price is great, especially compared to what I paid for the jewelry. All in all I couldn't be happier.
