I cleaned it with mineral oil then buffed it with a microfiber cloth. I then took it and placed it in 1 part Barbisol and 3 parts water for 2 hrs. I then gave it a good toothbrushing with some WD40, resterilized it, rinsed it and let it sit in mineral oil for a bit and gave it a good wipe down. Can't wait to test drive this puppy!!!
