The wood should not need to be polished so I assume you mean the keys.

First of all, this may or may not work to your satisfaction (being as you apparently want them shiny). If they're plated, which most clarinets in the last 50 years are, polishing with abrasives or using mechanical means (like an electric powered polishing wheel) might go right through the plating. Many Clarinet don't have thick plating to start with.

Secondly, assuming the keys are in good enough condition to risk polishing, to do a good job on the keys (preferably manually and with the appropriate cleaners) the clarinet needs to be fully disassembled. It is just about impossible to polish the keys without damaging the pads, so, you're in for a complete repad. And in the process of polishing, the little corks under the keys will most likely either fall off or get damaged - some, if not all. So, you're in for new key corks and a complete readjustment of cork heights to get the timing and tuning of the clarinet reset.

Basically, you're in for the whole nine yards, since once the clarinet is apart you might as well have the tech get the wood treated.

Still want to get the keys polished?
