Well, I am going to continue with this but I couldn't wait a week. Lasted 4 days. I can't help myself. LOL
Here's a before and after up til today. I think another treatment is in order. I can see where some areas really came out good and I haven't ruined it save for some high point loss of surface color. The trade off is worth it.
This is getting close enough to be considered collectible by my standards.

I am going to call it quits at this point. It went into a 2x2 today.
If I go any further, it would go south.
You guys don't know how close I came to getting the Mothers Mag polish and dremel out. LOL

Considering where it was when you started, I think you did a fantastic job.

The end result is worth a 2x2, the start was not.
