Here's a post I wrote about cleaning silver that might help you - https://chascrazycreations.com/silver-cleaning-hacks-15/
I sell a lot of silver on Ebay. Jewelry, silverware, serving sets. Silver polish like Wrights and dips like TarnX tend to remove some of the metal. The foil method doesn't work that great and still leaves a grey film that still needs to be removed. I use white toothpaste (not gel) and a damp toothbrush. For large items I use a damp cloth. Also works on copper, brass, gold, porcelain, ceramics, sneakers, plastics, etc. For my sales I needed one product for cleaning everything.
Hi Peter, here's 2 suggestions, White vinegar and baking soda: Use this gentle cleaner to remove heavy tarnish that's preventing you from polishing your silver. Soak the tarnished piece in a solution of 1/2 cup white vinegar and 2 tbsp. baking soda (be prepared for the fizzing!) for two to three hours, then rinse and dry.

Hi Peter,
The best idea I've read about is using white toothpaste! I was very surprised to learn that most commercial silver polishes tend to remove a little bit of the silver coating each time the silver is polished. Gosh, I remember my grandfather polishing my Mom's silverware every time he visited. Who knew white toothpaste would have actually been better? Wishing you the best.
I use a plain toothpaste no whitening products just old fashion crest rub in and use toothbrush mascara wand worked in tiny spots do this until you start seeing the paste turn black wipe with a dry cloth . Repeat this process until your happy with it.
