The topic of maintaining/beautifying a wrongko comes up here and there on this forum. There, however, appears to be no thread uniquely devoted to this topic. I'd like to suggest to use this thread for exactly that purpose, i.e. to share ways, materials, tips & tricks, and pitfalls of performing work on wrongkos.

In order to keep things informative, it could be helpful to explain the "why" behind certain actions. The "why" could, e.g., entail:

- giving a polished appearance
- protecting against dirt
- preserving the wood
- maintaining the current appearance
- repairing/hiding small defects (emphasis on small)

I hope this thread will provide members with some new knowledge which they'll be able to apply to their own keris collection.
