No it does not tarnish. Just a dusting once in a while keeps it really nice. I love this light.

I've had it three years and no sign of tarnish. I've never polished it. It's a beautiful light.

Can someone confirm: is the exterior of the 10" copper whipping bowl lacquered? It appears that it's polished, but not lacquered; otherwise it should not tarnish. The exterior of my bowl has begun to tarnish in just one month and after 3 uses. It's carefully washed with warm water and soap after each use. Thanks.

Although I have not tried to polish stone. It does an excellent job on my Silver which is on my western saddle. Can't see any good reason it wouldn't polish stone.

I don't know what metal, but it has a mirror finish and does not seem like it will tarnish.

I had experience polishing silver bracelets and it did an excellent job. You just have to be careful not to use too much compound and to select appropriate tool speed. Otherwise, you may damage silver or gold coating (in case jewelery is coated).

Yes to a great extent. You may have to work with the piece over several applications and wipe offs. I strongly recommend the cleaning cloth from the same company. You may also want to go at the piece with some cleanser first. When the tarnish actually pits the silver, not much can be done.

It has a dull shine to it "brushed nickel" I believe. As long as you don't use an abrasive cleaner on it, it should not show scratches. The brushed finish is great, its more of a matte shine, definitely will not see any reflections. Does not show scratches as far as I can tell, but I handle it pretty carefully.

It doesn't seem to be coated with anything. It was not super shiny to start with. But it does a good job.

Absolutely! You may need to gently scrub the coins with a soft toothbrush, followed by buffing with a polishing cloth. Gold doesn't tarnish but the process will clean it.

i have polished nickel. it looks great, but never again i will have it in my house. i have to wipe my faucets after every use in order to keep them nice and sparking clean. if the water drop dries on it, it creates a stain. my other bathroom has polished chrome. - i can leave it for a week, and after wiping with a wet sponge and buffing with a terry towel it looks as good as new.i used to be paranoid about my polished nickel, but now i clean with flitz once a year and it looks not bad at all. (but i wipe it dry with the terry towels after almost every use). hope this helps

Pretty sure it is polished stainless, though I couldn't say for sure. I have had no flaking with 2+ months of heavy use (3-4 uses per day)

I think it is polished. I bought it as a gift, and never really looked at it. The "boys in the shop" were delighted that they didn't have to step on bottle caps anymore.

It is not really shiny-it is more of a rubbed oil sheen. It is a permanent finish which can be maintained quite easily. I like the finish a lot.But I like the application and green aspects as well. If your comparing to more toxic hard finishes which can be very shiny you may be disappointed. Also it likes to be rubbed (as in wax)evenly and more coats very thin are better very thin is all that is necessary.

I haven't removed it, but it is not supposed to damage the original finish. I will probably not remove it unless it starts to peel loose. I don't know if that happens or not.

Pure gold itself does not tarnish, it is the alloys that tarnish and form the film on the jewelry. From a microscopic point of view, a small amount of the gold can be removed if rubbed hard and often. But I would guess to actually be able to see any gold removal would take decades of frequent rubbing. Use a liquid cleaner first, and then lightly polish the jewelry with the cloth.

It would mar the finish, and leave it able to rust (I think) where it was engraved... Unless it were kept oiled maybe?
