Which is better – Wright’s Silver Cream or Wright’s Anti-Tarnish Silver Polish?

Both products polish silver and can be used on any silver. Wright’s Silver Cream is an ideal polish for regular, routine care for all silver as well as for heavily tarnished silver. Wright’s Anti-Tarnish Silver Polish leaves an invisible, non-hazardous, wax-like coating that slows the formation of tarnish. It is ideal for silver left out on display or silver in long-term storage.

How do I polish my pewter?

Pewter varies in finish from highly reflective to a dull matte, depending on its composition and manufacture. First, polish with Wright’s Silver Cream, which is best for reflective surfaces. If the results are not satisfactory, then try polishing with Wright’s Brass Polish. Pewter is highly susceptible to pitting from corrosion, which may in some cases be corrected by polishing. Severe cases will need professional restoration.

There is great variability in the thickness of silver plating and its longevity. Silver can be repaired and replated. Consult a jeweler for further information.
