How about protecting the finish, is that easy?

Pretty much, only waxed once so far, still looks great, only took 30 seconds to apply

I just wipe mine down with a microfiber cloth and it has stayed beautiful. It is only about a year old though

CV....i am so glad you asked. I had bought a cream copper cleaner especially for this sink. When i rubbed the cream on, the finish started to come off, leaving a shiny, uneven copper color in place of the beautiful patina. It was so bad, I ordered another sink (not the same one, but very similar copper with a rope design around the rim--i actually like it even more). I discarded the copper cleaner and have put the renaissance cream on the new sink to protect it. I haven't used ANYTHING to clean it, considering dawn or a mild soap. so, buyer, beware!!

We haven't done anything to it since install and it still looks brand new. We usually wipe it clean after brushing teeth

I guess....but why you would want to do that idk. You might want to add a clear coat afterwards if you actually try that.

There is a glossy finish (clear coat) but you could easily paint it. Use a basic primer first. A stain probably would not work.

Blemish is small May depend on where yours fall at. I put ribbon around edges covered the problem. My daughters wedding cupcake tier was a hit. People thought I had it done professionally!

With sanding between coats and a lot of elbow grease, yes. It will not be a hard or durable finish and Shellac is easy to scratch. The best way is do a finish coat is a mixture of shellac and linseed oil rubbed on with a very soft cloth. Might Google "French Polish" to get some ideas. Regards Pop

It is quite simple. Use stick to rub into cracks. Lightly remove excess . Job is done.

I agree with the previous responder. I would be careful using something that aggressive on the finish. Have had great results with Bar Keepers helper when nothing else worked...particularly around rust.

Hello Melinda, This may be appropriate to complete your project. It worked for me to protect from moisture and tarnishing. HOPE THIS HELPS.

Hi Nathan, I agree with MOzarkian regarding the spray. I'd make sure to cover the entire piece, front and back well. I live in Florida, and we too decorate outside walls......clear sealant is my best friend!!! You might have less issue with rust as where you are it is a much drier climate.

vinyl covered......so, reasonably well.....you may want to tape ends and connectors or oil lightly..

For best results, you should use a topcoat. I used two coats of Polyacrylic topcoat by General Finishes.

I would do it just to be safe. I put 3-4 coats of clear on mine to keep them from fading in the sun. I think the clear is worth it for the $6 it costs

Yes, it's a gloss finish so I would Def. Add a glass top (should have done that myself).

Not easily. It's a clear hard satin finish over stained wood. You'd have to sand it lightly to get any paint to cover well.

We haven't taken ours off yet, but a friend said it left a little residue that came off easily. But as far as pulling the finish off, it didn't.

HiSince you are not worried about the finish, you may try Goo Be Gone. It can be purchased almost anywhere. It may not even do any damage to the surface either.

You can do that for sure it is finished all the way around the only downfall will be a white factory sticker that was meant to go at the bottom do not peal it off it will pull the laminated finishing on that area let me see if i can upload a picture of mine....it is sited on the side
