Default finnish question

i am looking at some 629s on line and noticed that some are more shiny than others. is this because some polished them and can they be polished mirrorlike by hand? if so what is the best method to obtain that brilliant shine?

Mother's mag polish worked for me. Several hours while TV watching and polishing did the trick. A couple of bad spots I worked with 1500 sandpaper before polishing. My hand-polished 681.

+++1 on the Mothers Mag polish. I polished my model 66 and I think it looks better. Don
