Thanks guys, I owe it to David for posting about this with his wireless rebuild.
As for a satin nickel, I don’t think there is much we can do at the home level. A lot will have to do with the surface finish of the base metal. From what I’ve read, some will beadblast or use a scotch bright pad to scuff the metal. Then plate.
Right out of the solution it was dead flat. I used a buffing wheel and it polished up.
