Our everyday tube: 50 grams of soft pink paste that cleans, polishes and leaves a thin protective film on chrome, aluminum, brass, copper, silver, gold, stainless and pewter.
Not for California. Simichrome's VOC content is over the state limit, so orders to California addresses can't be filled. Do not use on anodized aluminum.
Squeeze a little onto a soft cotton cloth, rub it in small circles and keep going. For a few seconds the cloth just turns grey; then the black starts coming off — oxidation, old wax, fingerprints, years of hand oils — and under it the metal begins to throw light back at you. That is the moment we are made for.
This is the format we are best known for in workshops across the country. It goes in a toolbox with the motorcycle tools, in a drawer with the jewelry pliers, in a range bag for the bluing and brass. One tube handles dozens of small pieces, because the paste works in a thin film: you never need a glob, only a smear.
When you are done, buff the residue off with a clean part of the cloth. What stays behind is a microscopically thin layer that slows down new tarnish, so the shine holds longer between sessions.

My dad swore to get this up and down for restoration purposes and it has been amazing on my 1973 honda with a little bit of pitting on the chrome. I mean it looks brand new from far away and so nice. It gets small pitting out and cleans up lots of scratches. I will only be buying this from now on.
I’ve been using Simichrome for years on my 60/40 solder lines in my stained glass pieces. Makes the lines look like chrome. I believe it helps to achieve a deep black after applying black patina. Let add that if you use this AFTER patina, it will stripe it off. Back in April, I acquired an old copper lamp. See photos of before and after. Then I acquired 4 old copper measuring cups with brass handles. Talk about filthy! …
Absolutely a great product. I’ve never gotten a better shine on my solder. This is highly recommended for anyone who wants a perfect copper patina on their solder. No other polish works quite as well as this does for me. Value for the cost as I used a pea size and it goes a looong way.
I just received a tube of Simichrome polish recently. Today I tried it out. I polished a few knives from my collection. Wow! This stuff brings out the shine like nothing else can. Afterwords I decided to try it on a very collectible belt buckle I had from the early 80’s. My wife wondered why I bought a new belt buckle. I told her it was my old one from the 80’s and she was floored. It literally looked brand new. …
A small bit of This pink simichrome paste , polishes and shines my silver, gold and bronze or brass like no other polishes I have used on my jewelry. I have an antique brass lamp I am now able to renew. Not much elbow grease is needed to do what others couldn’t. Highly recommend this product.
Wife has been pushing for a newer faucet because of "stained-looking" baseplate. Tried the Semichrome polish as a last attempt to avoid spending more bucks for a cosmetic defect. It did the trick and restored the looks of the brushed aluminum finish to an acceptable level. Thanks.
