Kirkham finish

[maurice19]

I knew there had to be some polished votes out there.

I don`t think I have actually seen the elusive beauty in person, besides the Kirkham open houses.

I will say that windex has kept the finish on#318 looking great for ten + years.

Rodneys` choice of color with those wheels is drop dead beautiful.

I polished mine because I had only heard of one other that was polished - someone posted a picture of it in Shelbys showroom, it was parked on a black and white checked floor. I was awestruck. I just had to.

That polish took quite a bit of maintenance as it would oxidize pretty quickly - I never tried any coating which might have ameliorated that.

If I had to do it over I would have painted it a pretty blue with no stripes.

I think you saw my car, Maurice?

Start with polished, then brush it after about 5 years, then paint it about 7 years after that...

Pat,

I remember yours from when you brought it up here for the car show. It was so bright that people had a hard time trying to get a picture of it out in the sun. But is really looked good and got a lot of attention.
