Well, I don't buff, but use alcohol to throughly clean all the area
damaged by the foam. It won't go through the protective black paint where
it is undamaged. Whatever the combination of angle of reflection, index of
refraction of the glass and the dark interior with the top on, the result
is that the damaged areas reflect almost as well as the silvered areas.
the only defects that will be visible looking through the viewfinder are
the line between silvered and unsilvered areas and any part of the clear
area that isn't completely clean. Really through cleaning of the edge of
the undamaged area minimizes its visibility. I've thought about cleaning
all the silvering off the 'roof' sides, but never actaully tried it. I'm
sure that measurement would show a difference in brightness between silved
and unsilvered areas, but it is very slight to the human eye.

Thanks Moose!
