    Having tried all sorts of polishing methods, I have to agree that
    these are the ones that have worked best for me with silver and
    brass: Tumbling with steel shot, followed by polishing with either
    ZAM or Fabulustre. If the ZAM doesn't give it a high enough shine,
    wash it off with warm water, a toothbrush and plain old Ivory soap
    or Dawn dish washing  detergent.  Then polish with Fabulustre, using
    a muslin buff.  Keep at his last step until you get the highest
    shine you can. Wash it off, and you're done.  I like to use Zam to
    refresh stones such as malachite and turquoise when the surface gets
    a little dull.
