Im a newly signed up member and was looking for some advice on what I suspect is a contentious subject amoungst members - cleaning (or not to clean) a buckle.

Whilst researching a recent RMZ 63 purchase in this forum I noticed that Ben had previously showed a very fine example before cleaning and after - and must confess that I liked the post clean pictures better.

So my question is how do you reach that light level of clean effect on a nickel buckle ?

I have viewed this forum from the outside for quite some time and found the advice on fakes has been very useful indeed.

Many thanks
Michael
