Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns What's the best way to get the shine back on a nickel revolver

I've got a Smith and Wesson Model 57 and the nickel finish has taken on kind of a smokey look. It was this way when I bought it. What's the best way to get it shiny again? I used to own a nickel Python that some guy had polished right through the nickel on it so I want to be careful.

Happich SimiChrome Polish ... use it as often as necessary. Works well for polishing all steels and many other metals, as well. Use a soft cloth to put it on and polish it off - you'll be absolutely amazed. I've resurrected some nickel finishes I thought were goners with this stuff .... been using it for 35 yrs.

Before the Simichrome, I'd try Flitz. If you get the results you desire, great. If not, then the Simichrome. It's more abrasive than the Flitz.

+1 of the Flitz.

Thanks all for the advice

I have a hard time finding Flitz locally and have used Mothers mag wheel polish
