Fish and Chips!!!Obviously, none of the posters - are affectionados of the chrispy fried chips with battered cod served throughout the UK.

A messy dash of vinegar - and a sloppy dash of salt - will reveal on the copper clad counters a "new finish."

Use one, then the other, finish with "Brasso" to add the wax finish.

Nearly the same thing in the colonies is "Bar Keeper's Friend" - instead of vinegar it uses Oxalyic Acid (the bitter-weed stuff you chewed as a child) and also sodium chloride (salt)

Wax, polish, even olive-oil will retard the tarnish.

The best tarnish inhibitor for silver, is a cedar cabinet....the stuff resists tarnish for ten years from the camphor oil.
