Don't forget to clean & condition your vintage Louis Vuitton vachetta leather! Here is my tutorial! Its just 3 easy steps! ruclips.net/video/8X1NWpFp6Tg/видео.html
Oh my gosh this is so much better than brasso I have purchased over 185 vintage bags 45 of them are LVs and I have restored and sold all of them except 50 for my collection LOL.... and I have always used Brasso for the hardware sometimes it is so thickly tarnished it is almost like a barnacle effect!!... and I had to use fine sandpaper before the Brasso so after watching Lady vintage bags RUclips on this magic blue metal polish I purchased it and tried today on my LV Damier Azur Stresa large front lock came up a treat just sparkly new looking even helped with some of the light scratching I had previously used the brasso and this is definitely better.... in the future I may use both using the magic blue as a secondary polish depending on the tarnishing anyway just thought I'd let people know I did a comparison thank you to lady vintage bags
Hey Julie! Your real life and honest feedback is so appreciated! Thanks so much for sharing your experience with the other viewers so we can all gather and share information about rehabbing bags! I honestly did not enjoy my experience with brasso, I got to the point where I just didn't bother anymore because I didn't like the smell and messiness. Special thanks to Aussie YTuber @purseonfleek for introducing me to blue metal polish cream! The brasso did nothing to help my vintage pochette kourad , it even look silvered and I felt sad every time I tried to polish it, even with just a polishing cloth. But the blue metal polish cream gave me such a satisfying result with a bag I had failed to polish time and time again 😊
@@LadyVintageBags My husband has a car polish that I use and it cleans it beautifully! I have never used brasso for the same reason you mentioned...I would be so afraid to get that on my leather or canvas.
@@keisha9089 oh great tip yes I have car one in my garage aswell! I might try that one next time too and compare it to this blue metal polish cream! Thanks for the tip Keisha!
I wish I can watch your video before I went to LV store to fix my Twist logo oxidization problem. I need to spent $195 and wait for 3 months. I will try your way next time.
Hello, if you hardware is already experiencing some silvering then i would only use a tiny tiny amount and i would do a test patch first. This is abrasive so it can lighten the gold if yours is very delicate
Hello, I usually use a soft toothbrush and water and then wipe off. If you just try to wipe it off with either a wet wipe or a dry paper towel the teeth of the zipper usually causes the wipe/paper towel to start shredding and it causes a mess
Wow! Is this product only for brass hardware or can you put it on gold plated hardware? I have a Gucci Rajah Bucket Bag with the tiger head. I would like to shine it up some however I'm not sure if it's brass. I think it's metal possibly that has been gold plated.
Hello Debbie! This is not only for brass however the way it works is to be abrasive and create micro-scratches to remove the tarnish so for gold plated hardware you might just want to try a jewelry polishing cloth first since that is more gentle. You can still use it on gold plated hardware but i would only use a teeny amount and not rub too much as you dont want to take the gold off
Hello Asirf! Yes this doesnt prevent further tarnishing however 2-3 days is a bit fast. I wonder if it has anything to do with humidity. Do you live in a humid area? Also it may be that one round wasnt enough if it was heavily tarnished.
Any idea if this works on bits of metal on a purse that had color on them but the color is chipping off each bit? Does it strip thin paint or whatever material it is they use to color metal bits on bags?
Hello! The way this polish cream works is that it creates microscratches to remove tarnish, so it would further remove any paint thats on the hardware thus causing further damage. I dont know if it "thins" the paint per se but it causes abrasive micro scratches. You might have to have it professionally cleaned by a bag spa if its painted and you dont want to further damage the paint
@@LadyVintageBags Thank you so much for your response. I'll give it a go and see if it works. I'm trying to strip all of the "paint" or whatever it is since it chips easily and repaint them into another color.
@@laughinghawk8522 hello! In Aus we normally use methylated spirits or mineral turpentine or acetone to strip paint however you definitely don't want to get any of that on the leather or canvas so you would have to be super super careful if you were to try any of those
Hello, it may possibly work for superficial scratches but no I wouldn't say it works for scratches. I also dont think it's a good idea to over use this product as you don't want to accidentally strip off the colour on the hardware
Hello, yes it can leave micro scratches on the hardware. This works well for very tarnished and hard wearing hardware like vintage LV but if i had more delicate hardware such as 24k gold plated vintage chanel hardware then i would only use a teeny tiny amount
Hello! Yes but you just have to take it slow when cleaning the zippers because you dont want to get the polish all over the fabric of the zipper. Do a test patch on a small inconspicous location first to make sure you are happy with the result before applying it to the entire zipper
Hi Myra and thanks for watching ! Unfortunately I do not have any suggestions I'm sorry. If you are good with DIY you can buy a S lock from one of the spare parts Facebook group, otherwise if you have the budget for it then get the bag repaired directly with LV. Otherwise you can sell yours and buy a new better condition one.
Just saw your video! I just inherited a LV bag and while the rest of the hardware is somewhat tarnished..the hardware that connects the straps to the bag itself are very dark. Do you think your method will help on the straps hardware?:)
Hello, yes you can use it on the handware on the strap you just want to be very careful not to get it onto the strap itself (don't get it onto the leather) and wipe it off right away if it does. I used it for the hardware on my vintage LV Saint Cloud GM strap
@@PersephoneWind yeah unscented whatever brand. I usually prefer any brand of "water wipe" especially if it's light vachetta but it's not vachetta or if it's vintage and honey to dark vachetta then it's fine with any unscented brand of wipes

Great tip worked so well thank you for sharing...I use another cream, but this definitely works just as well!🥰❤️
Thanks Keisha! I much prefer this over brasso! What do you use on your vintage hardware ?

Hello Susan! Wow 3 month wait for hardware! Did they replace the hardware or just polish it for you?
Can you use this for LV purse with silver hardware?
Hello, i dont see why not however always do a test patch first when trying a new product
Thanks for this. Does it lighten Gold hardware or remove the golden luster?
Hello, if you hardware is already experiencing some silvering then i would only use a tiny tiny amount and i would do a test patch first. This is abrasive so it can lighten the gold if yours is very delicate
@@LadyVintageBags Thanks!
Hi Lady Vintage Bag, may I ask you how to clean the blue polish that went between the teeth and the fabric of the zipper? Thank you🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

@@LadyVintageBags thank you for your reply👍🏻 I will try the resolution you recommended

I did this to my vintage lv pouch, but i cleaned it for one round and it tarnished again within 2-3 days

@@LadyVintageBags yes i live in a humid area, managed to send it for a light restoration at my local bag spa. Ill get it back in 2 weeks im excited

Thanks for the help! Is it normal for some of the hardware to tarnish more than the other hardware on the same bag?
And is it ok if I use unscented Costco baby wipes?
@@PersephoneWind yeah it can be like that
@@PersephoneWind yeah unscented whatever brand. I usually prefer any brand of "water wipe" especially if it's light vachetta but it's not vachetta or if it's vintage and honey to dark vachetta then it's fine with any unscented brand of wipes
