Well that’s just silly. Lemon slices dipped in salt make the job so much easier.
They were actually not going for the perfectly pristine shiny-as-a-new-penny look that I think you’d get with the lemon and salt. In fact, based on the quick chat I had with the workers, they seem to have “overdone” it for a couple of the panels (too shiny) and were going back to rectify in some way. The desired effect was the sort of multi-colored streaky effect.
Do we know for what purpose the workers are shining up the copper-plated building? Has there been a change of status?
There are posters in the window for a very trendy looking restaurant or pub-type-thing called Rios (unfortunate if true, being so close to Tios). But, there are even more and larger posters offering the building for lease, too.
