It's hard to make things polish, unless you actually know the language..

I think what Magne is trying to say is, Trudno jest sprawić, by wszystko było polerowane, chyba że naprawdę znasz język..

If I listen to your track the things that jump out at me are :-
0:00 - 0:06s - decent riff but the guitar sound is really thin and grating
0:08s- Sounds like something stumbles..not quite sure what - maybe the bass or kick...just sounds off somehow
When the main guitars come in it also has that nasty honky kinda grating sound which doesn't do the track any favours...the overall spectral balance of the thing is off and skewed toward the high mid
Also sounds like there is too much 10k from the kit...snare is too loud or too bright
1:27 - 1:37 - the stripped down section is cool but it's highlighting sloppy timing
1:39 - guitar re-entry is mistimed
So overall I would say a decently written track with musical ideas that fit the listing but let down in execution, namely a below broadcast quality mix and timing issues.
Hope that helps.

Just listened and I totally agree with Mark, really good points
