A soft paste that applies easily and will not scratch. It lifts tarnish, dirt and oils from aluminum, brass, copper, gold, silver and just about any other metal — and leaves a film that retards oxidation.
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.
Jewelers know this tube as the last step. After the diamond compound and the felt bob, there is often a smoky haze left on the surface; a touch of our paste on a clean bob lifts it and lets the metal's real brilliance come through.
Stained-glass artists use us on 60/40 solder lines until they read like chrome. Knife people use us on bolsters and blades. Collectors use us on Victorian buttons, coins and buckles that came out of a drawer black with age. The common thread: a small amount, a soft cloth, and patience measured in seconds, not hours.
We do not contain grit that tears into soft metal. The paste rubs on, rubs off, and the luster comes up in between. If the piece is plated, go gently and stop as soon as it shines — plating is thin, and the goal is to clean it, not to wear through it.
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.
