Digitally remastering Old Masters to restore degraded colours?

There are some excellent youtube videos of actual restorations/repairs of artworks. Something that i had always wondered about how it was done to a physical painting. Just removing the old varnish was a major step as it revealed the hairs of the people. they were a dirty smudge before. Digital will present it own challenges, that may not produce the full detail an actual restoration would.
