The frame looks like it doesn't need anything but a bit of polishing, but be gentle, it's rather thin paint. Meguiars Cleaner Wax is what I use and it shines like glass. You can get replacement decals for $15.95 each for the toptube and downtube sets from Velocals, just choose the "Gold Metallic" option.

Other than needing toptube cable clamps, I'd replace the black brake cable housings with white, and route them behind the bars, and shorten-up the rear derailleur shifter housing. Other than that, it looks like just a normal clean-and-lube job to me. Beautiful bike.
