The polish isn't a coating.. being "polished" is a process. Where you sand down using a coarse grit and work your way down to a very very fine grit, then buff it with a rubbing compound. Where you start in the process depends on the finish your material has when you start.
It won't "come off" or anything since it's not a coating. You're physically changing the surface of the material.
Like polishing silver or something.
