Considering the darkness of the tarnish you may have to apply the polish a couple of times. </p><p><br /></p><p>Whatever you do DO NOT use any type of dip (Tarnex is the work of the devil) or the method using aluminum foil. </p><p><br /></p><p>I will lay odds you will like it much better when it is all cleaned up. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
