[HI Cobra]

The brushed aluminum on the Kirkham has proved to be easy maintenance for
me. Windex takes care of most of the cleaning - for finger prints or stains I
just use scotchbrite and they go away.

I can see where the polished finish would take more work but have no
personal experience with that.

Ernie - that Kirkham at the Cutter show a couple of years ago that came out
of hiding never to be seen again was polished (but not cleaned well, as you
said). As I recall it had a windsor 408 stroker and he wanted $95k for it.
I bet he still has it too.
