Here's my Amati, its 60 years old but was only stripped about seven years ago. It's never been cleaned other than a quick dust every now and then.

Beautiful. I hope I'll achieve a similar result, but I keep finding spots of lacquer or oxydation or different levels of brushing... It feels like a never-ending thing. But I'm not yet ready to stop!
I found an old piece of polishing cloth that works well, except it ruined my new pair of Jeans!
Ok, I should not polish with a new pair of jeans... I do it whenever I find a few minutes near the horn, so s#&% happens!
I considered trying to age the result artificially, but I think I'll leave it alone. I couldn't find any convincing method to obtain what I have in mind. I'll just apply some auto wax I have to protect it. We'll see how it goes...
