Seconded

Shiney bits are for bufty fags who are used to the hand action from polishing their bellends on a regular basis

most of my stuff is all shiney

but im no bufty and the car will be used to how it should be

its all down to resonal preference how you detail your bay and i hate everything powdercoated in bays

would rather have a nice shiney bay

i use autoglym metal polish on my stuff , seems to work ok , hoses a bit of wd40 if there oily, or some autoglym vinyl and rubber care cleaner

For cleaning samcos, samco them selves told me not to use silicone sprays like wd40 but just use warm soapy water and just rinse off and it seems to work perfect and they have kept there shine
