This is what I have used as well. Just apply the Tarnishield and leave it on for a few minutes, and the dark stuff comes right off when you rinse. The buffing only needs to be done gently and lightly - too much effort and eventually you may wear away the gold and reveal the silver underneath, particularly if the polish has a substantial amount of particulates ("grit"). I don't have any experience with Haggarty's so I don't know how abrasive it is.
I find with gold (as opposed to silver, which seems to need regular polishing) that the clean microfiber cloth already mentioned is all that is needed for day-to-day maintenance.
