How do I clean a cast iron wood stove ??

[captclearance]

I have lived in this house for nearly 11 years..... I have a big franklin wood burning stove in the livingroom.... I wipe it down and dust it...But how do I clean it to make it look shinny and nice ???????

I'm not sure you can make it shiny and nice again, we had a wood stove for years and after the first year of burning it was never shiny and nice again, but my fil used to buy stove black and spray his stove yearly. It looked nice but after a while due to the heat it was back to a normal looking, well used stove.
