Would you or would you not

I have a late 50's Slingerland kit. I will re-wrap it eventually, only because the wrap that is on it now is trash.

My question is; would you polish the nickel hardware so that it is pretty and shiny

Absolutey! Clean and shiny goes a long way to distract the eye from bad wrap.

It left the factory bright and sparkley, why not? ***els Rouge will give you a nice shine. Once buffed up you cangive them a clear coat to keep them looking great.

+1 on that one. I think that is especially true of nickel because of how dull it can be when not shiny, makes a huge difference
