    Yep, so you remove the oxidisation, but what is oxydised is the clear coat, or paint. You remove tiny amounts each time you do it but eventually it is possible to be killing it with kindness. If you don't have oxydisation, use simple wax type polish.

    yup, or simply a piece of twisted wire, which, OK, you have to replace from time to time. I think you might be able to get those ties from a gardening place.

    I'm sitting in the shade, the sun isn't even really shining but it is so humid, and I am leaking so much that I have decided to go in and sit with a fan about metre from me. We need yet another storm or some rain.

    Putting polish on a surface then spreading it evenly, maybe letting it dry if it is that sort, then buffing it, cannot harm the surface. But using polishes that contain cutting compounds to remove oxidisation could eventually cut through the top...
