Let the polish stand for about 3 to 4 minutes and then polish with the finger tips of your gloved hand. 3. Wipe off the polish while still wet with a soft cloth. Old t-shirts are fine but a better choice is a microfiber cloth. Re-apply following steps 1 & 2 if needed. Buff to the desired sheen with the soft cloth of your choice. 4. Follow the same procedure for the butter dish base. If you find that the surface of your silver has a heavy build up of tarnish, rub the polish longer not harder.
