At our cabin in CO we have a set of Brookpark Modern Design pink and black Melmac dinnerware. I've been replacing missing pieces, but some of the replacements are quite worn - fine scratching being the #1 problem. Is there any safe way to restore some semblance of shine to these pieces? I guess steel wool will even them out but of course leave a dull surface. Any ideas??
Successively finer grades of steel wool will remove the scratchs, much in the same way that wood is sanded with successively finer grit (60 grit --> 100 grit --> 150 grit --> 220)). Getting gloss back is a real challenge and needs a very fine polish, or perhaps a final coating. Even without a gloss, they should still look better.
