To maintain the original applied patina finish, a periodic light waxing will help retard the oxidation process. It is recommended that any dirt be cleaned of before waxing. Hard water spots or oxidation can be removed by rubbing gently with very fine steel wool (#0000). Spraying the area with a good wax spray first will make this even easier. A Carnauba Car Wax blend or AmourALL wax are both good waxes and are readily available. We have found that WD-40 works well also-as both a polish and cleaner. (That is what is used to maintain the Statue of Liberty.)
Then wipe the area clean and wax again. The rate of oxidation and necessary waxing will vary depending on location and climate.
