Polish and adjustments
Refinements are improvements that make something more precise, elegant, or effective.
The word suggests small adjustments rather than wholesale changes: The design went through several refinements before production.
Refinements can also mean polished manners or cultivated tastes—the marks of sophistication: a person of considerable refinement.
