Blue Magic Metal Polish Cream has become my Polish of choice. It works great on silver, chrome and other metals. It’s great on copper, but for me it’s not quite up to the task on bronze. However, it doesn’t appear to be recommended for bronze anyway.

The store I used to get it at no longer stocks it. It is easy to find online.

I have no connection with the company; just happy to use the product.

Very informative web page on silver care that includes polish abrasion ratings.

Sadly it was announced that the author Jeff Herman passed away earlier this year.

Thank you for the information. I’ll have to try Mr Herman’s product.
