Leaving for North Carolina next Friday . If it would help make a deal I would bring it with me.

So I was planning on polishing the chrome and brightwork and waxing the paint. No paint work..
I would think that would be a good thing . Am I wrong .
I don't want to hurt the value if detailing it will do that .
Selling is probably going to happen as trying to downsize my stuff including...
Ok thanks alot. The seat is original to the bike, and was well worn by my butt shining the stripe right off where I sat LOL
The bike was the first Apple Krate at my bike shop where my Dad did business.
I was going to get the Orange Krate as that was all the dealer had up to that point , but...
I have posted in Birds of a feather so this is a follow up
I have been going thru the site and have found enough information to make my head explode.
