The "varnish like" finish on my Singer 15 is dull (non shiny) and seems to be breaking down and already missing in some areas. It appears much shinier on the metal where the "varnish like" finish is missing.
I was wiping it with GoJo...but stopped because I am not sure if I should remove the "varnish like" finish or what. I am concerned that removing the finish wil remove the decals.
Help......What should I do?

I just thought it was interesting.
