I bought this to clean and polish the hardware on a pre-loved vintage Lady Dior handbag. The bag charm and all the gold plated pieces were dulled and in some places lightly scratched. I used the inside cloth first and right away you could start to see the difference. The metal started glistening right up and the scratches were definitely lifting. It cleaned up all the metal really, really well. Then I used the outside cloth to buff it and give it some extra shine. Wow, this was definitely a 5-star purchase. I was even thinking of either getting all the hardware re-plated or dipped or finding some sort of re-plating machine myself. Im sure the cloth has many other uses, but for me, this was my experience with this product.
