buffing aggraffes?

[Mark Cramer]

My preference is to replace, however the new ones are never "sparkling."

I was content with this until a colleage pointed out how much "nicer" our
gleaming "reconditioned" agraffes looked, against the background of all the
other plate-finish details we labor over.

Alas, we now buff and clear-coat new agraffes too. This is a cosmetic
detail, but nontheless; non-negotiable.

Goodness. All of that effort. Why not just buy sparkling new ones and send
the old ones to the recycler? How old are the ones you're trying to "pretty
up?"
