Here's what works for me:

You'll need a Dremmel with a buffing wheel attachment.

Smear a little tooth paste on both side of the lure.

Buff at med-speed. All the tarnish, etc will come off and the lure will look like new. I used on a bunch of old spoons, spinners, etc. Brightened them all up nicely!

First - an initial cleaning with Red Bear Polish:



Then a Shine-Up with Wenol:



They will Sparkle BETTER than New!  ;)

IronNoggin, interesting method with the red bear polish first followed by a metal polish. Dremel buffing pad with toothpaste works like a hot damn too!! A little sticky on the hands though... :o Some of the old crusty spoons and other lures that I was given came out sparlking almost like new.
