Thanks in advance to anyone providing guidance on this question.

A friend of mine decided he no longer wanted his Colt Combat Commander and offered it to me. I accepted immediately and have a few questions for the forum.

The pistol fires and is in "decent" shape. The finish, nickel satin, is covered in blemishes and is very dull looking. In short it hasn't been cared for aesthetically.

Any ideas on how to clean the finish?

In addition does anyone have any personal recommendations on replacing the grips? If you can recommend someone, or a company, I would appreciate it.
