Preservation needs to be repeated as soon as water ceases to make a start from a varnish and to gather in drops, and on the contrary – forms big pools. Regular preservation keeps gloss of a varnish longer.

The second possibility of preservation of a varnish is use of special preservative after a wash of the machine which rather well protects a varnish covering only if no more than 2-3 weeks are put after each sink with frequency between 2 sinks.
