[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 154125, member: 360"]I'll admit it - this gave me a real giggle! When I was at my local antiques shop, one of the chaps there suggested using (VERY SMALL) amounts of Brasso liquid metal-polish to clean the grime off of antique ivory to restore the shine. I tried it and it worked very well. Perhaps something like that might work on the shell? And then some sort of wax or oil on top, to preserve the shine? Just keep in mind that when I used Brasso, I used the absolutely SMALLEST amount.[/QUOTE]
