Cleanig reflectors
I bought a nice pair of original single bulb reflectors at a swap meet yesterday but they have fingerprints on the silver . I know the silver plate is very soft so what is a good method to clean them without damage ???

Re: Cleanig reflectors
Good Morning all...What about silver polish such as you would use on a silver knife and fork? You can also purchase a silver polish cloth that will do a nice job and the finish will last for a while...Ernie in Arizona
