Bronze? Are you sure bronze can be polished? I've polished
a number of things in the past, but never tried bronze. I have

Bronze polishes up very well. In fact, people used to make mirrors out
of it.

Yep -- "speculum" bronze. "Speculum" was a term for a mirror.

Telescope mirrors were made of it for years.
