quite correct
Sabbatis...
You are quite correct in the fact that with certain items you should try and preserve as much of the original finish as possible....
You of course want to determine the value of the item....but they just cleaned the Sistine chapel and wow, what bright colors ol" Mikey used to paint it.... Cleaning in some cases can stop deteriation of the remaining finish...
You want to test out your cleaning solution on a unnoticed portion to see how it affects the item.....The method I use cleans the dirt off, but is not caustic enough to eat through the finish....
To your point though..........restoring or refinishing a bat definately lessens its value faced with comparison to an original finish example...
