If you are planning on competing, watch it. Some contests won't allow oil or polish on the pkns or squash. Otherwise, Lemon Pledge works nicely to shine them up a bit. I don't know if it would change their color.

Olive Oil on a squash will darken it up. Olive Oil on a squampkin will bring out the green. If you do this you must wash it well before weigh off or they will be DQ'd. I find if you rub them with a smooth cloth they polish up well with their natural waxes.
