Hi friend!
Many metallic element and compound lose their lustre when exposed to air due to the formation of rust (ferric oxide)
The application of tamarind paste or mild chemicals forms a protective layer over the surface of the metal and gives protection against corrosion...hence they retain their lustre!

Hope that helps you!
