Sunshine Polishing Cloths

[Bruce]

Just got one of these from a pipe maker to clean the silver on my pipes. He also told me it's great for stems.

So I tried it out, and it does a great job polishing vulcanite/ebonite stems! Brings them back to a shiny deep black. Now it won't remove small tooth marks, but it does get rid of the oxydation (graying) on the stems.

Works so well that I just polished all my pipes and it made a dramatic difference. The only other way of getting a deep black finish is to fine sand, then polish using a stem polish (or alternative), and then waxing.

Where do we get these? I have some silver bands and stems that could use a new polish.

Most jewelery stores sell them

Yeah it's not a special pipe accessory per-say, so you can get them at most jewelry stores or online real easy. Heck, I'm sure if you just bring your pipe to a jeweler he may just polish it for you right then and there for free. Depends on the jeweler though

Top tip, thanks Bruce. I know they sell them for about €10 here. I was looking to buy one to polish up some stuff, but nice to know it works on stems too...me go buy one.
