W. J. Hagerty Hagerty 10120 Silversmiths' Silver Polish, 12 Ounces, 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Blue

Fantastic silver polish. We found a whole box of silverware when we moved and decided to try to polish them up for daily use. All items in the box were given to us by parents and have been in the box for the last 20 some years. Imagine the tarnish on them! I found a few pieces of polish cloth to start. It worked but it requires a lot of elbow grease and patience. I went on Amazon to search for an easier alternative. This product seems to have most raves and I was very willing try for less than $15. Product arrived on time. The polish is a thick liquid (like concentrated dish soap) in red clay color. It has certain odor to it, not offensive but nor pleasing. I poured it on some silverware and rubbed with cloth. It is truly amazing to see how soon the stuff worked its way to remove tarnish, black spots and shine up the platters, spoons, etc. I rinsed with gentle soap and water - the instruction allows simple wiping/rubbing off by cloth. I personally wouldn't be too comfortable serving food with the polished silver without washing. Most of my silverware came out very nice and clean after one round of rubbing and rinse. A few that sustained too much damage needed another round of polishing. I used about half a bottle to clean a big platter, 4 or 5 medium size serving plates, 3 sets of serving folk/knife, and a cute dinner bell (not sure whether mom ever used that to let dad know dinner is ready :-). I applied pretty massive amount to those old pieces. I can imagine most silver probably doesn't need that much to drown in. All in all, this is a very effective and economical polish to use.A few tips for those who intend to use this:1. wear latex gloves or something to keep your hands clean. I used the polish with and without gloves. The product is not abrasive to hurt skin on my hands but my hands got dark as black tarnish was cleaned off from silverware. If some got underneath nails, it's hard to clean.2. Cover your work surface, especially if you plan to do the polishing on a light colored countertop. The same dark gunk from cleaning will make a mess of your work area.3. Keep a few clean towels around to wipe your hands - for sure your phone will be ringing when your hands are full of the polish.Enjoy your shiny silver!

Good quality product, gave the silverware an amazing shine

I recently inherited some beautiful but disastrously tarnished antique silver pieces from my family. For the past twenty years I’ve used two other polishes (Wright’s Silver Cream and Weiman’s Silver Polish) on other silver pieces I owned — but though those products were easy to use, they did not produce long-lasting results and did not work well on heavily tarnished pieces. I found an old half-filled bottle of Hagerty’s Silversmiths’ Polish and tried it. Though took a lot of elbow grease to get rid of decades’ accumulated tarnish, the results were well worth the effort! These silver pieces sparkle and gleam like new! Though I can’t yet attest to how well Hagerty’s anti-tarnish claims hold up, considering the fabulous results the polish achieved on the extremely crusty and sticky tarnished pieces, I’m hopeful about this product’s ability in that area, too. I will definitely keep buying this silver polish! Thank you, Hagerty’s, for saving my family’s heritage pieces!

It is not as “magical” as applied, wipe off & wow! BUT it does work better than others. I have used a few other silver cleaner before and usually just give up after working it for some and it is not moving the tarnish away. Maybe it is my fault to allow my precious family silver to get so tarnished. I just don’t have time to keep up with and just rather keep the “rustic/antique” look. :)Anyways, I started with the two 3 arms candle holders and were so impressed! I decided to work on my MIL’s silverware to be used for Passover. I have to cleaned all of the silver for probably 10 years. I used a large paint brush and a smaller one to work into the crevices of the flower design on the fork/knife/spoon handles. The candle holder took about 3-4 applications & about 2-3 hours for 2 candle holders. There are still tarnish (maybe wax covered) but good enough for now. And the silver dinnerware is completely free of tarnish after only one application. Only the flower carving need another application run in with the smaller brush. So many indents! I only needed 5 settings so I place the one I did not polish next the ones I did. It took about 2-3 hours. I did let sit for a bit before rubbing off.Final determination, I would get this product again. Since I used a brush to apply from a paper plate, there may be less waste than using a cleaning cloth?

Easier application and results last longer. Candelabra on the left cleaned with Hagerty silver polish. Candelabra on the right cleaned with another brand paste. Both items were cleaned one week before Thanksgiving. Longer lasting results with Hagerty and less work.

This product was recommended to me by my favorite jewelry store for cleaning the silver pieces at my church. The cleaner did a wonderful job of cleaning without scratching or damaging these fine silver pieces, which was my concern. The liquid did a much better job than those polishing cloths, gets in all the fine groves. Yes, you need to rub with a cloth, but it works very quickly and efficiently. A little goes a long way. Great product. I will never use those cloths on fine silver again!

I recently acquired a silverware set that is 70 years old. It was extremely tarnished. I tried the aluminum foil, hot water and baking powder method. It didn’t work. This product worked GREAT! The silverware looks amazing. Was easy to use, quick, and did not require significant effort. I wore neoprene gloves to polish the silver.

I have tried several types of polish and cloths, but this is the best. My instrument repair tech uses it on silver plated horns and he recommended it. Much easier to use than thicker pastes. Works on jewelry, too.
