Default Just want to share this with everyone

I cleaned our jet powered semi truck with this stuff and it worked real good.

I have been using it on my coins with wonderful success, so I thought it might help someone in a small way.

It doesn't really remove a lot of crud or dirt, BUT it will make your silver and other coins shine like heck. It also will not tarnish over time and is very easy to use.

I also use it on our gold and silver jewelry.

I used my scanner on the half dollar, so it DOES NOT really show how nice it looks.
Sorry about that fact.

If it was daylight now I would try to take a picture of it with my camera.
If anyone would like me to try that I will do it at my first opportunity.
Give it a try and I bet you will start using it to show off your coins.

It works for me and I hope it does as good for anyone who tries it.

What's the name of the product you used on your coin and where can it be purchased at? Thanks for the tip. -James

Yeah, what product did you use? That is quite an impressive difference in the before/after pics.

If anyone does try it, I would appreciate to learn what you think of it.

Hey Free. I'm to old for that elbow grease stuff.
I like the easy & lazy way.

Good product, been using it for years, makes old dull pennys shine like new, simply amazing stuff.
You can buy it at most autopart stores.

I will have to try your suggestion. I use a product called Tarnite (not Tarnex) it is available at Ace Hardware stores. It is a metal polish does wonders on most metals I have tried and is better than Brasso. Here is a half I found the other day at 6 inches deep. I cleaned it with Tarnite.
