I'd be tempted to polish it, but it'll probably end up being shiny, shiny :daumenhoch:

get a soft cloth, got at it with the brasso. (mask up the decals)

leave it for 10 and then buff with another cloth.

it will be clean and get rid of the scum, but if you dont go nuts, it will still keep that lived in look :)

Paul , difficult one mate

if you polish , it may look to shiney , shame ball burnishing would take the stickers off

prob leave it as it would be a shame to polish it right out

Didn't someone mention a while back about special polishing cloth's you can buy? No polish needed, there's something in the cloth itself. Just thought it would give it a bit of a shine.....
