The wood parquet sole in my 25 yr old GB has seen it’s fair share of abuse, mostly from careless mechanics. Big divots, shaved edges, etc.
Does anyone have any ideas or experience on refinishing or replacing?
Also, the locker pulls on access panels are in need of attention. Is there an easy way to restore the metal, or do I pull out the bronze cleaner cream and prepare for a long day of rubbing? Thanks in advance

There have been a couple of threads recently on deck refinishing that you can probably find with the search function.

As to polishing the pulls, I have had goos success with Blue Magic polish and a 3” wheel with a wool cover.
 
You should be able to download a file on buffing & polishing in the TF Library. I forget which section I
posted it in and currently working from the TF App & phone so Library not available.

Various buffing compounds on a cloth or felt wheel on a bench grinder is what I use for most polishing jobs.
That should get most surfaces except the recesses.
