Jewelers rogue and lighter fluid. Just put the lighter fluid in a jar and drop in the bar of jewelers rogue and let it dissolve. Dip a rag in and polish away.

What retail stores sale Jewelers rouge, and how much lighter fluid do I use? Also I noticed there are many different types of Jewelers rouge, which one/color should I use?
