Polish?

I've noticed some nice restorations - or at least cosmetic improvements of a few Micro Seiki turntables being offered for sale here and on Ebay lately. My question is what polish are they using? I have a DDX-1000 and would like to restore the silver parts to their former glory. Any help appreciated!

In Pittsburgh we'd use two Pierogies, a pound of kielbasa and a half-barrel of Iron City.

I refuse to put any style of sausage on my turntable no matter what beer I've been drinking.

Well then Weirdsailboat, you're obviously not drinking "enough" beer!
(It is not a matter of the quality of beer, but quantity!)

You may have a point - but with a delicate Benz Glider I try no to handle it when I'm convinced I have 10 fingers instead of 5.

Anyone actually know what would actually polish* the silver parts on the DDX?

* meaning to bring to a highly developed, finished, or refined state

Ask a silversmith what he/she uses to polish valuable silverware that cannot be scratched. Regular silver polish has abrasives - don't use.

One thing you might check into are polishing cloths made for fine watches. You can buy these for polishing & restoring any sort of metal finish you find on watches or jewelry. Watchpolishing.com sells about every kind of specialty polishing item you could wish for.
