Polish Hands on 6694 oysterdate?

Hello all,
I recently just recieved my first Rolex, and am about to take it in for service and was wondering what else I should do. It’s a 1981 Rolex 6694 with a champagne dial and steel hands.
I am going to replace the crystal and service it for sure, it’s loosing about 2 minutes a day, but I was wondering if it would be a smart idea to polish the hands and Rolex logo? I have no interest in polishing the case or bracelet or anything else.
The hands and logo have a slight amount of corrosion on them, but I know that sometimes cleaning up the dial of a watch too much can hurt the value of the watch. The dial does have some damage on it right by he hands, but I do not plan on repainting or replacing the dial at this point in time.
But to restate my main question, would it be smart or not to polish the hands and logo or would it just hurt the value of the watch too much?
Thanks, Connor
