How long has Kirkham been brushing and polishing Kirkham's? Jamo may have not been the first, but his Kirkham was one of the first 'bare naked ladies." I think Jamo's Kirkham may have been left brushed back in "Ought 3."

So, what's that? Like 15+ years that Kirkham has been showing off those beautiful lines sans "clothes." I think the word "fad" has "left the building" or "that train left the station" a VERY long time ago.
Agree

I thought about painting mine. In the end I decided I liked it polished and it makes it easier to fix dents and scratches...yes it is a lot easier than on a painted car.

Besides - I can paint mine anytime I want but you sure can’t polish or brush finish a fiberglass car.

As to taking care of the brushed sections - as has been mentioned, fine scotch brite and go with the grain of the existing finish. Practice in an inconspicuous area to make sure the scotch brite is giving you the right finish.
