(Also, an attached photo of my recently refinished shift knob, for which I completely stripped off the OE finish, and then sprayed on both of the aforementioned (Kiwi and Fiebling's) products).

I think the sheen of the fiebing's product I used may be *slightly* shinier than OE.

When I first tried touching up the worn areas with just the Kiwi product, it was such a perfect match that you couldn't even tell where I had touched up, vs where I had not. So if you're looking for an easiest solution, just get the Kiwi product and wipe it on in the cleaned areas that have the missing clearcoat. It dries fairly quickly, so be sure to stop wiping when it starts to solidify! Also, practice your technique to avoid streaking marks/lines, (or otherwise, don't be frustrated if you need to strip and retry to get the wiping technique right. It's definitely possible to pull off as a DIY effort, but there is some learning curve!) Hope that helps.
