I know that I did a really good job of cleaning some silver plated roller inductors with the same silver cleaner. They looked really fantastic but I could not get them to work as the cleaner had put some sort of coating on them and although they looked good, there was a lot of problems with the electrical contact between the rollers and the coil windings. I had to re-clean them with a soft grade of plastic scouring pad to get them to work again. I used the same sort of pad used to clean "Teflon" tm. cookware.
