How to clean silver

This site seems to be quite a useful forum. I’ve just joined and cleaning silver is a subject of immediate interest. I’ve always used Wright’s Anti-Tarnish polish for the final polish, but some time in the recent past they changed their formula. It now seems rather suspiciously like Weiman polish. Weiman has apparently bought Wright’s. I would guess that now they use the same polish under two names. Well, I’ve always liked Wright’s because it rinsed off so easily and completely. Now Wright’s, like Weiman, leaves a sort of smeary residue. I can buff it off with a cloth but it seems rather a step backwards. Am I using the polish correctly? I recall the same problem with using Hagerty’s, which is well liked by many others. Is there another polish that rinses as well as the old Wright’s?
