Buffing on silver plating with rouge and Kerosene 

The Kerosene trick is an old repair trick from years and years ago that I had always heard of. I had never tried it until recently. The Kerosene helps to lubricate and keep the rouge from embedding into the finish or leaving little bumps of rouge caked up. degreasing or wiping down is very easy with this trick and the results are better than hand polishing silver.
