If kept indoors, stone-resin will need no more than dusting.
Out of doors, dust, grime, bird-droppings etc can be removed with a damp cloth.
Stone-resin is very weather-resistant but it is polished when you receive it and the polish with weather off gradually causing the colour and shine to fade. Every year or two it would benefit from an application of polish followed by buffing. Any wax-based polish will do - furniture polish for instance, even shoe polish. Successive coats of black and brown shoe polish can be helpful if the colour has faded. Apply the polish with a brush (a nail brush or toothbrush will help to get it into all the crevices) and buff up with a soft cloth, towel or brush between coats. Two or three coats should be adequate.
‘Renaissance wax’ is excellent as a top coat protection against the weather. Your sculpture has two top coats of Renaissance wax when we deliver it to you. It is made by Picreator Enterprises (Tel. 0208 202 8972 for supply).
Stone-resin is a very strong and durable material (and very resistant to weather erosion) but it is not unbreakable. Take care not to drop or knock your sculpture on something hard.
