Hey Mark, it's funny how I've come full circle...I started initially trying to make things as shiny as possible...like I did on the America (and on that frame I feel it was appropriate). However, I've since come to appreciate more factory-like finishes and have been working on methods here and there to do that. The vibratory experiment was one of those as well as things like using rubbing compound rather than polish. It cleans, it smooths...but it just doesn't get blingy. Once of these days I'll get to a full arsenal of methods and finishes, and be able to do them on demand (hopefully) .
