The finish on a 63 I bought is somewhat dull. It's not a big deal to me whatsoever, but I started wondering about cleaning, restoring, or somehow bringing it back to life a little.

Anyone here recommend a product or method? I had taken this pic for another reason, but you can get an idea of the current finish from it. I could get better ones with the stock if it would help.

That looks like the original factory finish to me. I’d just wipe it down with a little Old West Snake Oil No. 2.
