restoring scratched silverplate

9 years ago

A relative of mine "polished" an old EPNS tray of mine with a sponge scrubby. The scratches are shallow and fine and pretty awful on the unpatterned areas. It's not noticeable on the pattern.

I was thinking of using some Mothers Billet polish, which is supposed to get you a mirror finish, to buff out the scratches on the flat spots, just once. Is this a really bad idea? I don't know how thick the plate is; it's International Silver from the '40s or '50s.

Any other ways to get a mirror finish back one it's been turned into a "brushed" finish?
