Audio cleanup in scale model build videos

Question for people who post scale model build logs, paint demos, review clips, or bench videos.

If the spoken notes are useful but compressor noise, sanding, cutting, room sound, camera noise, or background music makes the voice hard to hear, do you clean up the narration before posting?

I am not talking about hiding a build mistake or making a product review sound cleaner than it was. I mean an owned clip where the goal is to make the explanation easier to follow.

The checks I would use are:

• keep the original recording as the reference

• do not remove tool, airbrush, sanding, snap, fit, or handling sounds that matter to the build

• avoid background music unless I have rights to use it

• preview any separated voice/background result before saving it

• listen for artifacts that make the process feel less honest

• disclose meaningful edits if the clip supports a review or troubleshooting question

For modelling videos, is cleaned-up narration useful, or is raw bench audio better because the process sounds are part of the evidence?

No link or product recommendation is needed. I am asking about build-video workflow and forum etiquette.
