It looks like you have a nice machine indeed, but you will need to be extra careful about cleaning it because of the deteriorating finish. I can tell you how to hide it but if you are going to use it frequently then you need to spray an automotive clear coat over it.
I will show you mine before and after to give you an idea as to what you are shooting for, and my finish was deteriorated but not quite as bad. There are little tricks to making one look like a new penny without having to jump through hoops but this is a long drawn out process and took me around 2 weeks to get it looking this way. but here are a few pics.
