PILKIE Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 (edited) Old toothbrush,apply autosol,and a good bit of elbowgrease! Gives a satin lustre rather than a mirror finish,but the harder you work at it the shinier they get! Edited February 17, 2010 by PILKIE Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OR - get a battery toothbrush, cut down the bristles to make them a bit stiffer, then you can polish with one hand and lift your drink with the other! AlanR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
