2. Polishing (metalworking) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polishing_(metalworking)

   The removal of oxidization (tarnish) from metal objects is accomplished using a metal polish or tarnish remover; this is also called polishing. To prevent further unwanted oxidization, polished metal surfaces may be coated with wax, oil, or lacquer. This is of particular concern for copper alloy products such as brass and bronze. [2]

3. Surface finishing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_finishing

   Polishing lines will be soft and less reflective than a #4 architectural finish. #7 Finish. A #7 finish is produced by polishing with a 280–320 grit belt or wheel and sisal buffing with a cut and color compound. This is a semi-bright finish that will still have some polishing lines but they will be very dull.

4. Electropolishing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electropolishing

   Electropolishing, also known as electrochemical polishing, anodic polishing, or electrolytic polishing (especially in the metallography field), is an electrochemical process that removes material from a metallic workpiece, reducing the surface roughness by levelling micro-peaks and valleys, improving the surface finish.

5. Brasso - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brasso

   Brasso has also been used to polish out scratches in plastics: It has been used to polish CDs, DVDs, screens, and pools to repair scratches. It is a mild solvent and an extremely fine abrasive, so when applied to the reflective surface of the disc and rubbed radially (in straight lines between the edge and centre), it can smooth scratches and reduce their effect.

6. Tumble finishing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumble_finishing

   A well-chosen speed for stone polishing causes the rocks within the barrel to slide past each other, with the abrasive grit between them. The result of this depends on the coarseness of the abrasive, and the duration of the tumble. Typically, a full tumble polish from rough rock to polish takes 3–5 weeks, and is done in a minimum of 3 steps.

7. Chemical-mechanical polishing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical-mechanical_polishing

   Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) (also called chemical mechanical planarization) is a process of smoothing surfaces with the combination of chemical and mechanical forces. It can be thought of as a hybrid of chemical etching and free abrasive polishing. [ 1 ]
