Compare finishes side by side

Choose two to four finishes. A finish is always approved on a physical sample of your metal, so ask for samples of the ones you like.

Worth knowingSmall repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face.Shows every fingerprint and every scratch, so it belongs where it will be looked at and not handled.The dents hold dust and, outside, water.The pattern repeats at the size of the tool, so a very large field shows the repeat.
Looking after itAlong the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.A soft dry cloth for dust and a damp one for marks — never anything abrasive, which scratches a mirror surface permanently.A soft brush lifts dust from the dents; a damp cloth for marks.Dust settles in the recesses; a soft brush clears it.
