what to use to polish nickle???

[sheldon wade]

my smith 29-4 in nickle has a couple of small spots that have a dull finish where it should be shiney. what do you use to hand buff out small scratches and to shine up dull spots without messing up the nickle finish?

I never rub on my nickel, but you should use the finest polish available. You could try the auto store for the "clearcoat safe" polish which is about as abrasive as cottage cheese. Use a soft cotton cloth like an old T shirt or the cloth will scratch it.

Make sure it's not a place where the nickel has rubbed off and you are seeing the bare steel. You don't want to rub on those.

+1 with the Flitz, and don't use Hoppe's solvent with nickle guns.

I agree with using this product. This has been the best polish that i ever used.
