Got a relatively old Thomas and Thomas Firehole fly rod that's in need of a
good tune-up but not sure what's best. It got a few light scratches on the
blank (1st generation graphite), the Nickel seat is a bit tarnished, and
scratched and the cork handle is a bit discolored from use.

Any and all advice would be appreciated.

Easiest would be car cleaner wax for the blank, tarnish remover for the
reelseat then a coat of the car wax and kitchen cleanser for the cork,
or you could rebuild it.
