You can try Teflon car coating.
It may slow the effect of oxidizing and give you longer
Periods between polishing.
I don't see the point of polishing only without coating.
The idea is to slow down oxidizing affect,we don't scratch the mod every day!!!
Just my thinking.

I don't use anything without safe coating add on.
May it be Teflon add (more durable)
Or Acrylic add ( more shiny ).
And those I use are very soft on the polish side,because there is no point for aggressive polish,
unless for first time when you buy un care used one.

Polish it up , sell it and buy a Stainless Steal GG . there is no practical way from stopping nickel tarnish .
