Rust Spots on Dishes? No more!!!

I got a new set of dishes for Christmas.  This is huge!  For those of you who don't know me, I had been using dishes that used to belong to my husband's grandmother.  They were Fiestaware, which is very pretty, but they were all chipped and tired looking.  My fabulous mother surprised me with a delightful set of white dishes.  LOVE them!  They go with...well, everything!  After using them daily since Christmas, I noticed what looked like a few rust spots on the dishes.  Then I closely inspected the dishwasher.  WHAT???  How did I not notice that the prongs are losing the coating, and rust is on the tips????  Well, there HAD to be a solution, right?  So...off to Amazon!  I purchased 2 sets (20 tips per set) of these prong toppers.  The reviews of other products indicated that they were too short and fell off in the dishwasher.  These prong toppers are longer, and WOW are they a booger to get on!  40 tips is not enough to cover all of my rusted prongs, but I figured I would start with that and see how I like them.  I have to say that so far, I'm impressed!   Below are before and after shots of the prongs, along with their packaging.  Here is a link to the product: Dishwasher Prong Tips
