Friction polish is fine on pens I have been using it for over 20 years but if that is the finish you want to keep then it has to be looked after like any bit of polished furniture any type of furniture polish will do apply with a cotton cloth leave to dry for about 20 min then buff another way is to put on several coats of F/P then several coats of woodturners stick I am going to get some of the eee ultra shine polish that Jim uses tomorrow it seems to give a great finish they are the simple ways no doubt others will come in with other ideas this is just a very simple and quick way
One finish you cant put on top of F/P is oil it will just flake of very quickly
