I've got a similar question:

I have two items that would perhaps benefit from cleaning and polishing, but it would mean losing the logos.
Although both items have little value to anyone but me, I wouldn't want to 'ruin' them by trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Better to leave them as they are?

First is my old silver Redline Forklifter stem with a red painted or printed logo on the front. I want to polish up the stem but it'll mean losing the logo.

Second is my old black Kashimax aero. Again it's well-used, but I don't want to just tear into it with sandpaper. Will some sorts of polish clean it up nicely?
In this case, the side logos are 90% gone, worn off over the years.

For items of low value, perhaps 'character' is more desirable than 'shiny'?

Hi

A good polish is 3M Finesse It.

I use it loads on boats, cars, bikes, m/c's etc and it is also non silicon.

Use only a little and it should bring seat etc up a treat.
