Our cap surround was tatty, due to MGR policy of not seeming to prime anything before painting. I considered machine buffing the surround, but ended up stripping, priming and spraying silver. The one departure from original was that I sprayed the pretendy Allen bolts black, which contrast well IMO.
The disadvantages of weekly polishing would be, again, IMO:
Polish would get in the hex heads of the pretendy bolts.
Polish would stain the vinyl centre over time with white residue.
Do I want to do this every week, especially through winter?
Quality lacquer isn't dear and lasts well.

It will be all right in the end. If it isn't all right yet, then it is not yet the end..
