If you want to go that route, don't use a lube. Polishing the latches however, is really easy.

No, not serious, just joking. I'm sure someone has tried it. I prefer to just remove trigger assembly and use my dremil tool to polish.

YOU ARE RIGHT.You can get chrome bumper shine on trigger claws by removing them BUT the warranty on trigger is gone.BUT I know some have 8000 shots on trigger and no problems...There is not much in trigger at all ..My buddy opened his so I saw what is inside one and he polished his claws and boy do they shine.
he used Dremel buffing pads and no.6 polishing compound from Lowes.....
