PinkestFlamingo, thanks for the suggestion.

However, I don't believe I will be polishing them often enough for the overall improvement to be worth the effort. Although I have read good things about the Saphir Renovateur, so will add it to my list of products for future consideration.

Academic2, thanks for the link and the contrasting view.

As it stands, I certainly have more trust in time-tested products like Kiwi but that thread is clearly something I should read through before I consider ordering anything.

Archibaldleach is absolutely correct in his recommendation. I'll just add that I think you'll find Saphir neutral polish to be superior to Kiwi, and will take less time to get an equivalent level of shine. You'll want the cream, not the wax.

Cheers,

Ac
