What can I use to polish nickel?
To retain the finish, regular cleaning with mild soapy water and a non-abrasive cloth is all that is necessary. If you find that this is not enough, a decent chrome polish can also be used. We use either Autosol or Silvo which are generally available from local DIY stores.
How do you make a nickel shiny?
An Easy Way of Cleaning Coins
Use a brass detergent as a standard solution to clean your nickel silver coins. Just leave your coins in a brass detergent bath for a few minutes. This will eat away at the tarnish from the coins. The use a soft cloth to polish and dry them, leaving the metal with a beautiful shine to it.
How do you restore shine to polished nickel?
Tackle hard water stains or mineral deposits on your polished nickel surfaces by mixing 1/4 cup of white vinegar with 1/4 cup of water. Wet a clean cloth with the diluted vinegar solution then lay the cloth over the stained area. Allow the cloth to remain on the hard water stains for five minutes then wipe off.
What should you not use on polished nickel?
Do not use cleaners that contain alcohol or ammonia to clean brushed nickel. Abrasives should never be used as they may affect the finish. Acidic substances left on the nickel finish for extended periods of time may leave a slight dark mark, but this is easily removed with a chrome polish.
