It sure does feel good. Do you have suggestions on keeping them nice? Do I need to constanstly doctor them with Mother's polish? Or should I be able to simply wash them now?

Looks good man. I just did the same thing to mine. I think you should be able to wash them as usual. Might wanna do it more often though so they dont get back the way they were.
