what a fabulous deal. your wife is a good sport to support you like this.
as for caring for a Ti bike, I am not sure how this is finished just buffed? Merlins used to (like '90) with a small peice of scothcbrite and a little can of lemon pledge. sounds odd but they did and it made the bikes look great. ifact I started to use lemon pledge on my ChroMo bikes too. has to be lemon regular does not work as well.

Whenever I clean a Ti bike, it always gets a nice pledge wax for a sparkly shine.

You stole that...I posted a thread for a Lemond Ti frame/fork/campy seatpost/campy crank I found for $600 asking price. I was looking for a Ti frame or bike for a little while and it seemed to me that decent framesets were $500-600 while complete bikes were $1k-1500. I ended up with a 2k Sampson Z7 complete bike for $630 and thought I did OK...
Nice job.
