[Jewelry making - Article 01126] - [Orchid] Cleaning Antiqued Silver

Hi Everyone,

    I am producing batches  of antiqued silver pendants ( about 30 at a
    time) and am having problems cleaning away the polishong compound
    without damaging the antique finish.  I end up with the antiquing
    removed or with yelowiish white blotches.  I am using JAX Silver
    Blackener (Hydrochlic Acid and Zelluruim) and cleaning the pieces
    after polishing in an ultra-sonic using REY Super Sonic
    Soap(ammoniated).  I have had to resort to cleaning each piece by
    hand with a tooth brush and it takes up way too much of my time.  Any
    suggestions? 

Thanks
