What do you guys use to polish spinnerbaits? WD-40? Vinegar?

Toothpaste works pretty good

Really? How do you do that? 

[MN Fisher]

Most toothpaste (not the gel types) have a small amount of silica in them - think of it as micro-sand particles. A soft cloth, a bit of toothpaste, and you polish the metal.

Its like a pumice, put a little bit on the blade and scrub it with a toothbrush.  Its good for getting rust stains off hard baits too.

To get the shine back I use jewelry wipes.

   I use toothpaste to clean metal lures, and I use it to clean the guides on my rods after about a month of the Muddy Mississippi. I use any that has baking soda in it. Mind you, I don't go King-Kong-crazy with it though.       jj
