So disappointing.  I was hoping you'd be able to use this without the buffing cloth afterwards or with minimal light use of the buffing cloth, but you need to use just as much elbow grease as as you'd need without using the solution first.  I got this for use on some delicate jewelry and chains, and in the end had to rub so hard to get any shine that I - not surprisingly - ended up breaking some pieces.  I wouldn't recommend this solution for jewelry unless you already use a buffing cloth on the pieces, and even then, I'm not sure what's the added value of the solution.
