Generally, depending on the variable types of weather which the fixture is subjected to, the finish should last up to two years before it begins to oxidize.

A brass or copper lamp may be cleaned and polished to a bright new finish. However, steel, iron and white metal lamps cannot be polished and must be plated or painted to improve their finish. We suggest you consult with our Dealer Locator for a dealer in your area before attempting to re-polish a lamp of possibly high value. If you’re not sure that your lamp is brass, it would be best to first determine whether or not your lamp is made of solid brass material. See similar questions...

A buff and polish is a procedure that is often done between fills. Your nail technician/manicurist will buff the out growth of the nail product, near the cuticle area, making it blend with your natural nail. Nails are then re-polished. This is a service that is less expensive than a nail fill, and allows you to go longer between fills. Top of page See similar questions...

Although traditional wisdom has it that French polish is more conducive to sound, hence is better, the issue really isn't that clear.

There are other considerations as well that should be kept in mind. See similar questions...

A high polish finish is a highly reflective surface, where as our standard finish is the soft matte finish that you see on the website.
