Re: Protecting the STEEL

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

I have tried numerous products and the best thing I have found is
NOTHING. Leave the S/S as bare and clean as you can and if you get any
fingerprints they can be quickly and easily removed with windex or
alcohol and paper towels. Just about any product requires a lot more
effort and won't look any better. Once a year I go over the car with a
blending pad after removing any scratches with sandpaper. After that
all I use is windex unless there is something too stubborn for it to
remove, then I use alcohol (like on road tar). That is the great thing
about S/S, it is VERY low maintaince. At shows I don't mind if people
touch the car, the only thing that bothers me is rings (they scratch)
and rivets in jeans. I have seen some Deloreans that were waxed, it
doesn't make fingerprints any less noticeable but it does make the
dirt and dust stand out. Of course everyone has their personal opinion
as to how the S/S should look. Some like it grainier and some like it
shinier. (Some even think they look better painted). I am fortunate
that I have a garage that I can keep the car in and I only use a cover
over the winter when the car gets to rest. For a quick touch-up I also
use a California Cover car brush to remove dust.
