Any tips on polishing Nickel?

[allglock]

I have some very light scratches, but didnt want to use anything abrasive. (Unless it is OK)
Let me know if any of you have had any luck, without making things worse.
Thanks in advance!

I've had good results with liquid Flitz and a soft cloth. Tread lightly.

What he said. However do not use power tools such as a Moto tool! Hand polish only.

I use Nevr-dull on nickle guns. You'll find it in auto supply stores.

Are any of the above abrasive? I have already tried some clearcoat polish, but it does nothing for minute scratches.
Is a very little abrasive polish ok to use?

with anything abrasive you run the risk of changing the finish in that area - either darker or brighter. I have used mothers billet metal polish from auto zone with success - on nickel and stainless steel. not cheap to buy but goes a long way.

Brian, Never Dull is highly corrosive and I seriously recommend not using it on anything you care about. Mothers Mag polish is not near as offensive to metal or finishes. Kyle

I use Flitz and go slow. Then follow up with Renaissance Wax.

I used Mothers Mag Wheel Polish on my vintage 19-3 with outstanding results. It now looks almost as good as it did the day I purchased it.

Depending on how deep the scratches are, I would try Renaissance Pre-Lim, which has a very light abrasive. You can also use a heavier abrasive after it if it doesn't work. Mother's Mag Polish used lightly works well also as others noted.

Mothers worked great! Thanks for the tips!
