This word is commonly used to describe an object that has been made smooth and glossy through rubbing or buffing.

For example, one might say "hän kiillotti kenkänsä," meaning "he polished his shoes." Similarly, "pöytä oli kiillotti," would translate to "the table was polished." The term can apply to a variety of surfaces, including metal, wood, and even leather. The act of kiillottaa often involves the use of a polishing agent, such as a wax or a paste, and a cloth or buffer.

The result of kiillotti is typically a lustrous and reflective surface. In a broader sense, "kiillotti" can also metaphorically refer to something that has been refined or improved. For instance, an artist might "kiillotti" their technique, meaning they have honed and perfected their skills. The word emphasizes a process that leads to a superior, more refined state.
