Explanation:
ja viimeistelee (kohteen) sekä pitää lian poissa viikkoja

Explanation:
Use of participles like "kiillottava" (that which polishes) and "helposti tummentumat poistava" (that which removes tarnish) seems to be more common than English "banner headline" style ("removes tarnish, kiillottaa"). Additionally, "tarnish" is not common "lika" ("dirt, stain") but a chemical corrosion coating that forms on silver. It is called "tummentuma" ("darkening") in Finnish.
