Don’t be afraid, it’s pure metal, there is NO plating.

This image shows a walking stick that has been exposed to the elements for 2 years without maintenance.
In just a few seconds, it regains its original shine and lustre.

• 1) First go over it with 0000 grit wire wool. With just a few steps you will have removed the surface patina, and the shiny metal will be visible.
• 2) With a cloth and some normal car body abrasive paste (the kind used to remove scratches from car bodywork), after a few passes you will see the shiny metal.
• 3) Afterwards, for good maintenance, wash with normal neutral soap and dry. It will be enough to maintain the original shine.
