How to keep copper parts bright and shiny for at least 6 months?

2004

Copper parts are very bright at our finishing line, after acid cleaning. The problem is how to keep them bright and shiny for at least 6 months .

Thanks.

Whether it would last 6 months depends on a lot of factors, but dipping them in benzotriazole [on eBay or Amazon] or a proprietary preservative based on benzotriazole will keep them bright and shiny for a while.
