They also polish up well with Mother's polish.

BTW - it looks like you purchased them w/o the lever end-buttons. The Shimanos may not fit, but don't despair, since they are also available at Niagara.

Got everything I needed from Niagara. Thanks, Auchen! With the brown hoods, and brown tape, they'll look quite nice, I think. When I bought these, I'd never even heard the term "riding in the hoods." Now I know that I do that, and I want hoods to ride on!
