<p>[QUOTE="MrNate, post: 2928461, member: 5515"]I think Cheryl's advice is really nice. When dealing gilded silver, the method I use is a <u>very wet</u> q-tip with some wrights on it and very very light pressure and patience. I'm working much slower than non-gilded, and I'm not trying to achieve a showroom polish, but instead knocking down tarnish carefully while attempting to maintain the gold coat. It's a delicate balance of polishing away tarnish and maintaining the gold hue.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
