MAAS silver & metal polish
The missus is mesmorized by an ad for this stuff (last page of Sunday
Torygraph Seven magazine 30/12/07). Anyone with any experience of using it? It is quite expensive (GBP12+1.50 p&p for 4oz) & the usual trawl through the web hasn't yielded anything in the way of independant opinions as to its efficacy. I could believe it works, but is it any better than normal silver polishes? & is it more abrasive? Presumably it leaves some sort of anti-tarnish coating on the metal? TIA |

It works OK, but no more so than Silvo or even Autosol. It's more abrasive than Goddards Long-Term silver polish. I haven't noticed any improved tarnish resistance over that provided by Goddards.

Don't know, never tried it but the best metal polish ever IMO is Peek. http://thepolishingshop.co.uk/acatal..._Cleaning.html You can get a free sample from them -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk 01634 717930 07850 597257 |
