I'm refinishing a Walther LP3 Match grip and would welcome advice as to what to finish it with as I'd like it to look as 'factory' as possible.

I've scrubbed it with a bristle brush and soap to remove ingrained dirt and then wire wooled it.

If I damp a small area it goes very dark, so don't want to end up with it being also black.

I was thinking of just waxing it?

All advice welcome

cheers
