Just paint it Matt Black. No need to keep polishing then.

everyone to there own lol.I have personally gone down the black paint route funny enough.As i can't stand cleaning shiney bits all the time! But when i was,i used that stuff on anything and had no problems.You normally get problems if you polish too much,it will eat the material! So if your the kind of person to do this alot,then maybe not for you..
