One other little tip is to have a jam jar of Polyclens, if you hang the polished item in the liquid for a while, the Polyclens will dissolve and loosen any polish residue that may be hidden in tight corners or patterns. Then it's easier to wash out with a brush and soap afterwards.
This tip was taught to me by a professional polisher some 30 years ago.

Hi James,

I take it you mean Polyclens the brush cleaner? Would white sprits be just as effective?

Thanks

Yes Polyclens brush cleaner is what our polishers used.
The Polyclens website states this; Polycell Brush Cleaner is the easiest way to get brushes really clean with no mess or paint residue. It contains powerful detergents to break down the paint so it cleans better than white spirit.

Thanks! I imagine you can use the same solution until it is saturated instead of changing it after each clean?

Yes, I used my Polyclens in a large screw top jam jar for months.

Will it harm stones James?

I never had any problems using it Theresa with stones or even enamels, I always used it cold, hanging items in the jam jar with wires on a stick that sat across the top of the jar so that the items hang in the liquid without touching the sides or base of the jar.
