I'm a designer specializing in kitchen & bath design. I have used just about every brand out there, but Danze is probably my favorite. Gorgeous products, great quality - their designs lean a bit more to the transitional/contemporary side so if you're looking for a more traditional style I would suggest Kohler.

I have no way to compare, but I can tell you that our Danze polished nickel product is holding up quite well. It continues to look like new after months in service.

Timothy, I usually buy the liquid at around $7/ bottle. This can is a TON of Flitz. The bottle may be a better way to go. As for Flitz....awesome. The only thing I have seen that will make nickel like new. Use it on my guitars/pickups. Might also try Mcguires scratch remover paste from an auto store....as two step approach. Good luck.

The satin nickel finish (surface roughness) is smooth but not shiny and doesn't exhibit a polishing "pattern" like stainless steel. However, this hardware looks terrific along side our stainless steel appliances. The satin nickel doesn't show fingerprints, which is important on drawer handles. One of stainless steel's largest metallurgical components is nickel, so the color is nearly identical. You will be happy with the results, as long as you're not putting stainless hardware next to satin nickel hardware because the polish finish is different. Good luck with your project.

Can't answer for Polished Nickel but sure does work well on Oil Rubbed Bronze!! Read the bottle and does not specifically mention Polished Nickel. Try www.flitz.com

I'm not sure if it comes in brushed nickel. Mine are in polished nickel and I love them!

It's the Satin nickel finish, not shiny. The weight is 1-2 pounds. Not heavy it can be put into sheet rock no problem.

Hi - no polished chrome is not the same as brushed nickel. Polished chrome has a very shiny finish while brushed nickel has a duller more matte silver finish. Hope that helps.

Sorry I have not used it on brushed nickel. I love it for copper & brass tho. Good luck.

I apologize, but yes, we are completely out of Satin Nickel. We do have Polished Brass, Black, and Antique Brass.

Don't know. Only installed mine in January 2015. Nickel is usually quite durable and doesn't show scratches like chrome does. These are so beautifully made it looks like you could drive a car over them with no damage.

I purchased the brushed nickel finish and it is brushed nickel all over. I did not like the shiny finish on the chrome mixer.

This is well made, and matches all other brushed nickel or satin nickel fixtures.

I have not used a polished grid one before so I can't say from experience. However this particular model I have had no issues and no sticking when following the instructions included in the packaging. I think you'll be pleased :-)

It looks like many of the other nickel shower heads and bathroom wall fixtures. You can go to home depot just to check them out. I had random faucet handles and towel racks that were all nickel, and it matched them well.

When I ordered there was a drop down with a choice of brushed (satin) nickel or polished (shiny). I chose the brushed/satin and was pleased as it matched my brushed nickel faucet.

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

I have the brushed nickel and it just wipes clean. I really like this hands free deal when cutting meats. I am guessing that there are other colors, like white, that might be easier to keep spot free.
