I mean unless someone has 100 50gal barrels of twinkle and a giant brush on a crane the statue of liberty will never be shiny.
Metal awnings on my house turn green and so did my copper teapot but I clean the teapot.

It happens naturally by oxidation.

copper oxidizes green, but it can be treated and it won't change color as quickly.

Are you serious?

The patina looks great as a fixture on a house. It does not however translate well to use in cookware. But yea copper in the outdoor setting is supposed to patina

Oxidation. Leave a penny in the elements and see what happens.

Anyone else think it would be cool to see the Statue of Liberty after a Brasso session?

What is your question? Copper is, well, copper colored until it oxidizes. It is supposed to be copper colored until it is changed with oxidation.
