 | It's cool watching you guys dress up your guitars.  I'm thinking that for my guitars, if I take some lessons, maybe people will stop throwing tomatoes and the guitars will look better. 
 Cliff, you're trying to keep 32 year old gold tuner buttons from getting worn and pitted????  If they're not by now......

 | Yep, works great. Very cool. Body secretions will have the same effect eventually (Cliff, I'm talking finger oils here) |

 | Too Late. I've sped-up the whole process by taking the buttons back off the guitar & stashing them adjacent to my coin purse . . .
 
 
 . . four and a half more weeks, and they'll have developed a nice, greasy "patina" . . .
