This might be too early to suggest as we have only seen one snapshot with Copper.

My suggestion is the option to clean waxed and oxidized copper.

Simply place an oxidized or waxed copper block/stair/slab in a furnace to get it back to it's shiny state.

Or just to clean the wax off a shiny block so it can be weathered.

Oxidization is a chemical reaction, so chemicals would be necessary for removal, not just heat. Gameplay is better than realism, but in situations like this, Mojang typically makes realistic additions. (Think changing cookies to seeds for parrots and when anti-oxidation was added in the first place.)

From a bit of research, I see that most of the cleaning is done through pastes or juice rather than heat. It'd make sense if some sort of water and honey combination could clean it. Most likely, I'd say you can craft a water bucket, honeycomb and rusted copper block together to reset its rust state with the water bucket not being consumed upon crafting.

Watch out for the crabocalypse. Some say the day will never come. But it will.

Feel free to drop by for a chat whenever.

If you'd like to talk with me about other games, here are a few I play.

Team Fortress 2

Borderlands series (Borderlands 2 is my favorite game, ever. TPS combat is a lot of fun and makes up for the lower-quality story, in my opinion)

Elder Scrolls series

Warframe (IGN is something like That_One_Flesh_Atronach)

Pokémon series (HGSS forever)

Rocket League

Fallout series

Left 4 Dead 2 (Boomer files always corrupt though)

SUPERHOT (SUPERHOT is the most innovative shooter I've played in years!)

Dead Rising series (Dead Rising 2 is one of my favorite games, and the 3rd was a lot of fun. 1st has poor survivor AI and the 4th is bad)

Just Cause series

Come to think of it, I mainly play fighting-based games.

Copper rusts over an incredibly long time. It would take around 60 in game days to get to the point of even slighlty weathered copper, I don't think this will be an issue but I suppose I dont see a problem with cleaning it

It may take a while to rust, but if you're like me and you like to stay on one world for a long time, cleaning copper would be absolutely necessary. I just hope they change the copper block texture to something more attractive rather than the tiles.

The small tiles seem to be a different block called Cut Copper; The copper block itself seems to be a full-block panel that actually looks pretty good imo.

If players don't have easy access to bees to get Honeycomb, then they will have to deal with oxidation whether they wanted to or not. Frankly I think just smelting it in a Furnace makes the most sense. It may not be 100% realistic but it's easy for players to understand and more straightforward.

But the Furnace doesn't seem to just use heat, and the fact that it can smelt ores indicates that it can be used to reduce metal oxides, as most ores are either oxides, carbonates, or sulphides (And rusted copper itself in-game rusts into the carbonate, which IRL is, as malachite, one of the main copper ores), so, if the furnace can smelt ores, it should be able to remove rust.

Bees can spawn in beehives when oak or birch trees are grown two blocks away from a flower. That should allow easy enough access to bees anywhere.

Affirmative! Also, I agree with the primary proposal - rusting should definitely be reversible!
