For polishing pens, you can’t beat Simichrome. No two ways about it — after good old water, Simichrome is the most versatile cleaning agent I use.
This stuff cuts through grease, grime, tarnish, oxidation, ink, even that gunmetal gray crud that seems baked onto certain gold-filled trim parts. I took the clip from a client’s Parker Duofold, and Simichrome and a piece of 100% cotton flannel did this to it:
| Before… | After! |

Simichrome is abrasive, but not terribly so, and you can use it very successfully not only on metal parts but also to polish celluloid and acrylic barrels and caps and even hard rubber sections. (It works on non-chased hard rubber barrels and caps, too; but because it’s abrasive it will wear away the design on chased parts.) 1.78-ounce tube (50 grams).
