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

I have used this brand of silver polish for many years. I have found it is different from other silver polishes because it has an additive that keeps silver from tarnishing for a longer time.

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.

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.

I ordered because the item was on back order from the silversmith shop. I got it from Amazon in 5 days, sooner if it were to home address, but prefer PO Box...does not get lost or stolen.

I clean a lot of silver (pretty relaxing, give it a shot if you haven't). So i've been having some trouble with this beautiful, quadruple silver-plate teapot. I've been able to get most of the tarnish off already, using homeopathic methods, and some elbow grease. But sometimes that only goes so far, and you need a little extra help.This did get through a lot of it. But you do need to use it more than once, and again, with some elbow grease. You need to remember that THIS IS NOT MAGIC - and any polish you use will take some actual silver off with it (especially important to consider when you're cleaning silver plate). Polishes like this are great to have around, but best used after you've done the old salt-baking soda-hot water-aluminum foil method. Considering that, yes, this works great. But don't expect you're black tarnish to 'magically' disappear in a flash without a good rubbing.One more important note - feel the tarnished spot before giving it a go. If you can feel a difference between the tarnished spot and the silver, it's most likely not tarnish you're feeling - it's the silver ripped away from the surface, and no matter what you do, that won't come out. You'll need to get it re-plated. Something to consider before reviewing an item like this.In short, never expect any product to work without putting some effort into it. That's why I give this four stars - to emphasize my point.
