I agree, no "polishing" as a general rule. Warm water, mild (dish) soap and a very soft (microfiber) cloth should be the extent of it, just get the surface crud off. But, if you do decide to do something else ya just gotta do a bofer and after shot, just so we can see it.
And, I want to see what your two look like now, please?
