I am trying to polish Nickel - Silver



We are a small ornamental railing fabricator and we have an extruded handrail moulding about 6'-0 long. The material is a mill finish nickel silver and we can't seem to polish to a shine. We are currently trying a dry compound with a buffing wheel from RB Wagner. Please help us.

You can use mixture of Vienna lime and oil of stearine.

Good luck!

If you have a lot of volume and/or your time cycle is in hours, then you may want to look at an automated pass through brush system. I can suggest a company that makes such systems and they will run a test sample for you.
