Eternal Jewelry Coating, Clear Protective Polish-on Sealant to Protect and Shield Metal and Stone Jewelry from Tarnish, Wear and Prevent Allergies .5oz (Single Unit)

I felt the need to write this review bc it seems there is alot of confusion in this product, specifically application process and how long to leave it on your item. I used this on several pieces on my 2 micron gold plated jewelry pieces and application went very smoothly. Seem to fill in a few blemishes in the gold plating and previous clear coating chipping. I can't speak on the full quality and longevity of it just yet. But it seems their number 1 complaint is application.1) CLEAN YOUR ITEM THOROUGHLY!2) Use blue polish rag to buff out (gently) remaining tarnish or blemishes (must remove all dust, dirt, finger prints, everything. If you are lazy with this step, your finish product will show it)3) It comes with an awesome top brush on, think nail polish brush. Brush on a LIGHT FIRST COAT! One of the biggest complaints I've noticed is ppl complaining about a white residue or thick finish coat they can't buff off. This is not suppose to happen if you apply correctly. Again, think apply nail polish. DO NOT load the brush with excessive product. Paint on lightly, remove excess as you blend. This is very important. What happens when you goop on to much nail polish and not remove excess before it dries? It looks awful!4) Drying time. I wasn't sure how long to let it dry for so I emailed the seller to confirm some info. This seems to be the other missing link that caused complaints. Yes, the longer you leave the product on to cure does give you a thicker result. Recommended dry time is 5 - 60 minutes depending on your item. I left mine on any where from 10 minutes to over an hour (accidentally) and it was still not dry. But you DO NOT want it to dry/harden on your item. You want it to cure. Difference. So yes it was still wet every time I went to polish off (gently). I'm not sure where others got the impression to goop on excessive product to their items then let dry over night? This product goes a long way, use the least amount as possible. You can reapply additional coats easier with more control way easier than it will be if you hastly goop on a ton of product on the first coat hoping to cut corners. That is your mistake, not the sellers nor product fault.5) Use white polish rag to shine up, GENTLY. Until you know how your item is going to respond to this product, all applications and steps to be done with soft hand. That should be a no brainier.Once you polish off the product to satisfaction, that is when it is dry. HOWEVER, I would not recommend wearing (if jewelry) for a full 8-12 hours just to be safe.Long story short; no gooping on excessive product, no leaving the product on longer than 60 minutes. No crying in baseball.This is just my honest, paying customer review bc I absolutely hate ppl who leave poor reviews on products that they don't understand or know how to use.

I love it! I bought a new water-resistant women's watch, a small lightweight one to wear for summer. As soon as the back of the case touched my skin, the metal ions oxidized the oils, causing that nauseating "metallic" odor that you get when you handle pennies. Since skin is always producing oils, washing my wrist only helped for 2 minutes. I threw it in a drawer while I tried to figure out how to deal with this problem.I discovered that it was just the back of the case, which is supposed to be stainless steel, that was giving off ions; this was easy to determine by simply touching each area of the watch to see if it cause a smell. The first step on the instructions provided further information, since only the case backing produced any tarnish on the cloth provided to prepare the metal for coating (just barely touching the clean-looking metal turned the cloth black!).The process took a few days. Each day I put on one coat, polished it off after 10 minutes, then cured for 24 hours as directed. The smell was diminished after the first coat, but still intolerable. So the whole process took 5 full days because I needed 5 coats to solve the problem. And solved it is!The instructions declare that people with allergies might need multiple coats to defend themselves from their jewelry, and that they might need to add new coats over time. I expect that I will fall into this camp, since I'm trying to deal with an aesthetically revolting reaction between the watch and the oils on my skin. If my wrist starts to stink again I'll update this review to let you know how long it took to wear off the coating.

The outside packaging and container box was ripped open. Are scans not available? Did they use a hazmat suit with narcan on standby? I just found it ridiculous that a Neanderthal method was used to check mail, when I’m sure the seller and location seemed legit. So weird. However, I’ve used this product before and had no issues, and it worked great.
