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.
