Product wanted
Hi there, this is my Bengall, there is some tarnish and pitting visible towards the nose and I would like to know if there is a particularly good product that will remove the tarnish and restore the original shine.

Only thing I would add to this is to cover your etching with fingernail polish before going at it with these products.

Alternatively you can use the polish in a more precise manner by rubbing the polish with an eraser on the end of a pencil. Also, rather than nail polish you can do some precision taping.

It is true that these will remove the tarnish. They will also kill the edge on your razor, so be very careful. It will polish the steel and make the pitting less visible but the pitting will still be there. In order to remove the pitting you would have to remove all the metal around it until it is the same thickness as the pitting. It is quite a bit of steel compared to the tiny amount of pitting. I would just use the polish.
