W. J. Hagerty Hagerty 12170 Silversmiths' Silver Wash, 19 Ounces, Blue

It does de job when you need to clean sterling pieces.

I highly recommend this polish. I have quite a bit of antique silver and am always looking for a polish that will keep it shining without stripping off the patina. For years, I have been using a cream polish that works well, but it is messy. I volunteer at a charity consignment shop; they use Hagerty foam to polish silver for sale and I was impressed with how well it worked and how easy it was to use. When I went to order some for myself, I saw this and decided to try it instead. I highly recommend it. This made polishing my silver was so quick and easy. It rinses off clean with no residue. The silver is left with a warm beautiful sheen. The trick I discovered is to add enough warm water to work into a foam--it does not work well as a cream., and buff the pieces afterwards with a clean microfiber cloth. I keep most of my silver pretty clean, so there was not a lot of tarnish. To really test this polish, I took out an old sterling compact that had been stuck in a drawer and had turned completely black. It took a little more foam and rubbing but the shine quickly returned.

This is a great silver polish. It works exactly as the instructions say. Wet a sponge or cloth, use it to apply a bit of the polish to your silver, lightly wash the silver with it as you would wash a dish with a soapy wash cloth, then rinse it off. The tarnish disappears almost immediately upon application. Buffing lightly afterwards as directed isn't necessary to remove tarnish, but it does bring out a very good shine. A pleasant surprise is how much polish is in the jar. Since very little is needed I think there's enough here for quite a lot of cleaning. The product is a bit like a copper and brass cleaner called Twinkle that works great on those metals, or like a 'rouge,' not a cream or paste. It therefore doesn't run or drip off. It doesnt have the terrible harsh smell of most polishes, either.

Works great for keeping your silver beautiful.

For my silver.

I have used Hagerty Silver cleaner for years, no better product on the market in my opinion.

Works best of all the silver polishes that I’ve used in the past

I make and sell handcrafted sterling silver jewelry, and I use this product on a daily basis in my own work as well as recommending it to customers who ask me how to maintain their jewelry.This mild product is safe to use on even soft gemstones, and easily removes tarnish from even the most blackened of silver. Simply apply a small amount of the paste with your fingers and rub gently until the paste turns black with removed tarnish, then rinse in water. Your piece will be left clean and shining.Despite the fact that I use this product more often than the average consumer, one 19-ounce container lasts me for many months.I use Hagerty Silversmiths' Wash on all of my sold pieces before packaging and shipping them to their buyers, so that my products arrive with a fresh, brilliant shine. I also use it on my personal jewelry collection with great success.There are many tarnish removers on the market, but this is the only one I trust to remove tarnish easily without harming soft stones such as turquoise, lapis, and pearls.
