Detail 01
Made for silver specifically
Silver tarnish is a sulfide film. A silver formula targets it; on brass or nickel you get poor results and marking.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A rub-on tarnish remover for silver. For keeping silver-plated hardware and household silver bright — not a treatment for lacquered or already-thin plating.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Removing built-up tarnish from solid or plated silver
- Cleaning silver jewelry, flatware and trim around the shop
- Spot upkeep on silver hardware between deeper cleanings
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Lacquered finishes — polish attacks the clear coat, not the tarnish
- Instruments with worn or thin silver plating
- Anyone wanting a dip or wipe-only, no-rubbing option
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Rub-on polish, not a dip
You control where it goes and how much comes off. Dips act on everything they touch, all at once.
Detail 03
Any silver polish is mildly abrasive
Each pass takes a trace of metal. On plated pieces that matters — plating is thin and doesn't come back.
Detail 04
Needs a cloth and hand pressure
Results depend on your rag. A soft, clean cloth polishes; anything gritty leaves fine swirl marks in the surface.
Detail 05
$19.99
Low enough to keep on the bench. Polishing is occasional work, so a container goes a long way.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Have a clean, soft cloth ready — a gritty rag will scratch
- 02Test an out-of-sight spot first, especially on plated pieces
- 03Keep it off pads, corks, felts and lacquered surfaces
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this on a silver-plated flute?
Only carefully, and not where plating is thin or worn — polish removes a trace of silver every pass. Keep it entirely away from pads, corks and felts.
02Will it work on brass or nickel?
It's a silver polish. On brass or nickel you'll get little tarnish removal and risk marking the surface. Use a product formulated for that metal instead.
03How often should I polish silver?
Only when tarnish is actually visible. Every polishing removes a small amount of material, so a routine schedule does more harm than waiting for the tarnish.
04Why does the tarnish come back so fast?
Air and humidity cause it, and rubber, wool and some papers speed it up. Storing silver dry and sealed away from those slows tarnish more than frequent polishing.
