Darius,
Good to have you aboard.
As for the polishing.......
You can leave the parts uncoated if you like. All this will mean is that
you will have to polish them more often with substances such as Simichrome,
Mothers, etc.. If you do decide to have the parts clear coated it will
afford them some protection from the elements but it will also diminish the
shine slightly.So basically it is a judgement call on your part.
FYI...For polishing tips call on "BuffMaster Mario" for the low down on
what to do and not to do when you are about to tackle some polishing jobs.
