I just got a nickel Summit in the mail and the owner didn’t tell me it was tarnished as heck and it looks disgusting is there a way to untarnish and polish them so they’re sparkly new again?

I usually stick to Eagle One’s Nevr-Dull ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/d/4/fd437872e1451153ec1266364d9ac1120b2c21bf.jpeg) Just grab that and a microfiber towel, and rub the shame out of it, buffing with the towel ---

Any kind of polish risks removing any bead blast or textured surface, just so you know. I would just use soap and water and see what you can remove without resorting to an abrasive goop. ---

Nickel over pyramatte isn’t a surface texture you need to worry about. Have at it with any of the recommended polishes! ---
