i just bought a tungsten ring and want to avoid build up of tarnish, so how soon can i clean the ring? does it work on gp? do i need a tool?

clean your ring as soon as tarnish starts to appear, i use a soft polishing wheel on my rotary tool for a better shine.

I would imagine you can clean the ring as soon as you like. What do you mean by "gp"? A rotary tool, such as a Dremel, is highly recommended for thick layers of tarnish. Removing slight tarnish is possible by hand, but thick layers are all but impossible without a rotary tool.

Hi, how are you? I actually put a piece of jewelry in the cup, put the lid back on, wait 5 seconds, then gently shake it 5 times. The five time shake also takes five seconds. I then lift my jewelry out, and give it a rinse and pat dry. This 10 second rest and shake rule works faster than just sitting the jewelry in the container and waiting. It has never failed me, and my jewelry comes out sparkly each and every time No matter how tarnished a piece is, I have never needed more than 20 seconds. Going past one minute will start to take the sheen off your jewelry, and you don't want to do that to your sterling. Hope this helps Laura. :-) Hi, how are you?

Hello Johnny. What I can say is that this is an excellent polishing kit for multi purposes. What I can tell you is that "I" would not use the polishing compound that is included with this kit on a Tag Heuer Watch. Why.... because I think it can be a little to rough for the watch's band. I would use instead Flitz polishing cream that can be purchased on Amazon and works extremely well and is soft on the surfaces. The compound that comes with this kit is for stage one of cleaning and removing light rust and stains and smoothing out surfaces, but after use of the compound I would still finish it with Flitz Polishing Cream that will leave you a mirror like finish. Also keep in mine that Flitz also removes light oxidation on surfaces so you get the best of both worlds. It's the same principle as with a car's finish: you wash first, then compound when needed, and then finish with a good quality polishing wax. I personal will suggest that if you are going to try this, try it on the inside of the watch's band to see what your result will be. Another idea is to buy the Flitz Polishing Cream and try it with a smooth white cloth and some cream, then rub it to the shine you desire but this will require elbow grease and time. The kit will speed up the process for sure, but don't go to fast or heavy on the speed of the tool. One other thing, when using Flitz a little goes the long way. Some people put to much and when they use the kitpolishing wheels it goes all over the place. I usually dab a little and polish, if I need to do it again I do so until satisfied. If you like YouTube has videos of Flitz Cream in action, result are incredible. Good luck.

I have not cleaned brass with this but have done silver. I cleaned a pair of my bf's cufflinks that belonged to his grandfather. I cleaned them in a solution with the jewelery cleaner for two sessions at 380. A lot of stuff does come off but you still have to finish off with a polishing cloth. My suggestion is that if your brass items are very tarnished, putting them into the Ultrasonic cleaner will help give you a head start. Hope this helps.

I'm happy to answer questions about this product when I can - maybe Amazon can credit me some sort of "kudos" for my efforts. About your question: carefully clean the metal resonator per the manual.

Great on white gold. It will not harm the rhodium plating. Just do not leave your jewelry in it soaking for hours or overnight. Follow the instructions.

Works well. Increase dwell time from lacquer. Couple coats before scraping off. No water until end. Scraper, steel wool, then hot water and nylon brush, then pressure washer, then soap and water, then pressure washer. Faster the better when scrubbing off stripper. Commit to it otherwise you'll just have to do it twice. Oxalic acid if you get black spots.

Jose-- The product is a wax, and it's for chrome faucets and plumbing fixtures. My suggestion would be that it might therefore only serve to gum up your items with bits of wax. I think you'd be happier with a jewel cleaner. I have no knowledge as to which jewel cleaner to chose. Tom

I use it to polish sapphire's and ruby's for me at takes a while as I start it with the stones very rough and have to change the sand several times to get them to the stage of polishing them. electricity is not much but it is noisy so you may want to put it in a room by it self. try it for about an hour than check them as make sure you get the right sand polish for them too coarse can scratch them. I bought mine about 6 months ago and it is still working fine today.

The label says it will clean "all stainless steel surfaces." If your jewelry isn't too detailed or filigreed, it should work fine, but some rubbing is necessary to bring out the best shine.

My iSonic worked well, but then it broke, so I bought something similar. However, yes, I have cleaned costume jewelry. You may want to take extra care and suspend it from the watch cleaner, but I don't, and I have had no problems. I have cleaned many things in these devices.

Personally I would recommend Hagerty's Pewter wash instead. It is also available on Amazon. Best to do a Google Search, it has some good advise on the variety's of Pewter & ways to clean . Tom

Use an Oxi dish washing detergent. It does not leave a residue on jewelry. Some stones like diamond it is safe to use a small amount of ammonia. The ammonia will remove oils and stuck yuck. Soft stones do not use ammonia!

I use a couple drops of dawn soap which works pretty well. A special cleaning solution may shine jewelry more but I haven't tried it.

The insert I wash with soapy water- no abrasives- and the outside of the unit I wipe down with cloth with soap and water. I also occasionally clean the outside with a damp cloth and occasionally use and "organic" type of cleaner similar to windex. Make sure you clean the ring in the top and be gentle- you need this for the unit to work properly!!
