Default Re: Is There A Better Way To Remove Tarnish From Nickel?

We use phosphoric acid, more diluted the better it works...Then rinse part and use soap/soda ash solution to nutralize the acid..then have at polishing the part....
Nickel alloys usually contain copper, zinc, boron and sometimes silver...Phos is great at removing tarnish....
sometimes even spaggetti sause will clean copper, silver and Nickle alloys...its the acid in the sause....You can see that happen on older pots and pans..copper based bottoms.
