How to Shine Galvanized Metal

Galvanized metal can begin to lose its shine after a few years. The metal has special additives that won't corrode or rust as easily as other metals. Keeping the galvanize metal clean will help maintain the shine and keep the metal looking fresh and new. It's fairly easy to keep the metal clean and most of the cleaning supplies you can find around your home.
