Other Alan!
I would just clean it, maybe a little guitar polish, but most of all just appreciate that it's a well loved guitar and it's going to show signs of wear, including the hardware starting to look dull in places!
If you really *need* the shiny, try some nickel, or perhaps chrome polish (depending on what the plating is made from on the hardwire). Be careful though, you can just take the plating clean off as well.

Thank you sir, I should mention that my 513 AP FBJ has faded like 50% and resides in its plush case until played now, so I guess faded shine is very befitting.
Well I have a thing or two for the bucket list but with the current economic crisis in my country now, all is postponed indefinitely I'm afraid.I thought the correct answer is to buy another PRS?!?

I swear by this. I use it for fret and hardware polishing and it works brilliantly. Even works for cleaning fingerboards. Very gentle and does not scratch (otherwise it would not be used to polish precious metals).
Cannot be used for gold hardware though as the yellow will fade off.

Don’t a lot of folks use Blue Magic?
That's what I used to use on all my nickel covered pickups and hardware. You have to make sure to get it out of all the corners etc or it gets chalky in those spots. Started using the Music Nomad Guitar Polish, and that's worked great too.
Unfortunately, all those brands are not available in my country and can't ship at the moment, but I do have a polish for silver that I bought few years ago and never used, so that might do the trick, thanks folks for all your suggestions, I really appreciate it

Don't know if anyone mentioned "Flitz" polish yet...does pretty well on their older Nickle based PU covers.

Interesting. I use something similar and have threatened for years to do a You Tube video for one of my tricks to do with them... But you may need something more substantial for a bridge.I swear by this. I use it for fret and hardware polishing and it works brilliantly. Even works for cleaning fingerboards.

Hope you’ve found something to bring your chrome back to a lustre?
Well, As I mentioned before I do have a can of silver polish but I haven't got around to it yet, plus all hell can break loose in my country at any moment so I'm procrastinating a little.
