In regards to brass instruments with a plate finish, the color of the finish may change over time however, it should
be of no concern in regards to the instrument’s performance. Discoloration in its early stage can easily be removed
with maintenance. (As discoloration progresses, it may be difficult to remove.)

thin layer of the finish’s top coat which will make the finish thinner. Please be aware of this before using polish.
