    For me if it were mine I would start with the least abrasive method. Mothers or MAAS. Should work great especially if you un pin it. If you start with something more aggressive you have a higher chance of losing the etch. Whenever I start a restore I'll use either black compound on a wheel or Maas. Plus if you un pin you can soak the scales in neetsfoot oil.
