BOP recommends polishing the serrations on a stock crankshaft. The serrations were originally machined to allow a tiny bit of oil to get to the rope seal to lubricate it. Don't know what the Best Graphite seal wants. Graphite has some natural lubrication qualities so I would think it wouldn't really matter.
