What Metal Polish to Use for Nickel Plating?

[DropDeadFred]

I bought some top of the line metal polish off Amazon to polish up a couple nickel plated beauties. I decided to read the label for once and there it was, "Not for use with electroplated surfaces". I never noticed that before. I looked at some other brands and low and behold it was a common factor. Either "Do not use with electroplating or plated surfaces", one or the other. Nickel plating is both. Anyone know a proper polish that is safe for plated metals?

I'm not sure about polishing compound itself, but an old timer trick I've learned for my motorcycle Is to ball up aluminum foil to use as a scour pad to remove debris from chrome pipes. It took melted shoe residue right off when I tried it.

Nickel is such a thin plate, it would likely damage it if you do the foil trick.

My grandma give me a can of Silvo years ago. She used it for cleaning and polishing silverware. It comes in little can and you pull out a little wad of cloth soaked in the solution from the can. Great stuff. Used it on all my palmers guns back when I cared.
Plus it has a great odor to it.

I use Nevr dull, the smell is not great but it works on anything and while i see on Silvo it list electroplated items, on Nevr dull it states all metals.

Never-Dull just thinking of that reminds me of getting in trouble during my Navy days >.<

Silvo or Brasso will work with a microfiber. Nickel is usually very thin. Like less than .001 typically, so try not to use anything abrasive.

Wait, are you trying to polish a dust finish to shiny? I don't know if I'd recommend it.

nickel / chrome automotive polish. Anything for classic cars is generally safe.
