Here's what I got.
I use polishing cloth. Should I use something else?
How long and with what kind of cloth do I need to rub it?
Will it be glossy or matte when finished?

I have matte suface now after some rubbing.

Keep in mind: I got no experience whatsoever in this.

Last: one of the springy thingies holding the dial cover flew away.
What are they called? Tacks? Springs? Spring holders?

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
