Cosmetic repairs or not?

I incldue a picture of two of my guitars. The Jackson and the ART. The Jackson I picked up in a pawn shop for a steal and the ART i bought new.

The jackson was propably owned by Slash because it has a bad nicotine stain on the head stock where the owner stuck his lit sigaret when he was doing a solo or something... How do i go about removing the stain,if it is at all possible without lifting the laquer?

The ART is actually getting some well defined caracter marks around the sound hole. The satin finnish is going shiny... I know this is part of the natural aging process, but is there nothing I can do to get the finnish back to the way it was when i bought it?

My wife loves both guitars, I wanted to sell the Jacskon for awhile but she convinced me to keep it.
