Default Shellac on Ball

I am relatively new to this side (mostly on the pre-war side) but wondered what the best approach is to increase the visual appeal of a heavily shellacked ball. I suspect most would say leave it as is....but the ball is an early 20's ball and has some nice auto's. The ball has some thick coats of yellowed shellac on it. Is it advisable to remove some layers of shellac to increase visibility? Would this affect the value of the ball?

I plan on keeping the ball (as opposed to selling) so anything I do would be purely for my purposes.

Any direction you can give me would be appreciated.
