Gold plate shouldn't need polishing on a regular basis as it's gold which shouldn't tarnish (although it will look dull over time from handling and depending on the quality and the alloy). Also bear in mind gold plate is applied very thinly between 1 to 3 microns thick and only as a top layer, so will wear off on areas of high contact, or if you use a silver polishing cloth which contains a mild abrasive, or are overly fastidious with polishing it even with a dry cloth.
