Very cool! My motto: 'first do no harm' and keeping your 'rare find' in its original key would fit.
Secondly, using MAAS also
fits that idea. I haven't tried the lotion myself - realizing it would likely be a lot more 'runny' than what I use from the tube (a
little dab'll do ya with that version, lol), but wanted to give you yet another heads-up: Scotts Raggs. I buy big boxes of them
(actually, am only on my 2nd box in 16 years? They sell them for automotive work (people who are fanatical about polishing
cars or bikes), but I got mine at Costco originally. They look a bit like paper towels but are much softer so don't scratch at all,
dispense easily from the box (one at a time), last far longer so can actually be used like a real cloth. I always carry a few to
SPAH with me in a zip-lock bag, and they come in very handy for working on chromatics, jewelry, etc. For polishing and buffing,
they're fantastic. You can also cut them up to use just a bit on the end of a finger to control where the polish goes, and to wipe
off afterwards. Something you might not yet have noticed...Maas also leaves protection from more rust forming, after buffing it
out. You won't feel or see it but it's there. You're very welcome.
