By hand with a cotton rag, put some passion in to it for best results.
As the saying goes (at least in my language) no shine without friction.

Its worth it, I used it in both wood and metal shops lots of times, its a lot of work but the shine is gorgeous. For steel, apply warm.

I use these one of these (1950's dutch army model) as a grocery and one as a work bag, they do start to show signs of wear after roughly 2 decades of semi daily use, I wax them with straight paraphene candlesticks to make it rain resistant, but they do get quite stiff from that.

An 1880/1890 sewing machine that my grandmother inherited, not sure from whom, I use it to lockstitch thick layers of leather and leather like material that my normal (electric) sewing machine can't handle. I found a box of needles for it at a junk sale a while back for a good price, I modify them a little bit with a dremel to turn them in to leather optimized needles.
If I don't count books and decorate objects, my second oldest item that I activly use is a brownie box model 2b analog camera from 1917/1920, incredibly simple and cheap made design, nothing that can break on it. It was the first mass available camera at the time costing only 4$ film is still available pretty much everywhere and with advances in film it works better than it did in the day.

I am not a fan of those (at least in my climate) it traps moisture inside the brickwork causing the heads of the stones to crack and eventually fall off in harsh winter. Brickwork should have one damp open side at all times. If the damp open space is the inside of a house, the solution should be ventilation.

That is essentially a security camera with extra steps.
Also, it a badly engineered product with serious flaws in its data security.

That depends on where a camera is pointed, in my local legal context you have no right to film the public space or the propertie of others if avoidable. Your right to film ends wher others right to privacy begins.

The electrics are fine, but if you value your privacy and respect the privacy of others there are serious questions to be asked about installing a Ring product. Personally i would stay away from it and i would be quite displeased if a neabor would hang one up

Use tube isolation and put tonzon foil around it, never insulate cold water pipes as it increases the risk of legionella
