Get off the Internet! lol just playin!
 
Good point, how do you protect a polished one?
That's where I was getting is there's some kind of coating u can dip it. Like the chrome process...but u should still be able to polish it out and what not...I mean I haven't done mine at all and it's been 4 yrs and it's not oxidized or nothing....but one of my painter friends told me to polish it where u want it, shoot it with clear and should stay like that forever...just soap and water like the rest of the vehicle, tried it on my antenna and it dulled out the polish finish....Billet is just one of those things that if u take care of it u shouldn't have problems, now if u don't wash your truck but once every 6 months, it'll prolly oxidize lol so as long as u keep up with it, it should be fine....

Good to know, thanks man! I am going to order from Brandon, and want it to last :)

With polishing, will any aluminum polish work (Mother's, 3M...), or is there something specific for billet?

Thanks again man!

Mothers is always great, but I like to use some stuff called quick gloss
www.quickgloss.com
Some amazing shit, cuts polish time in half and really brings out a shine, turns a keg into damn near chrome lol been trying to get Brandon to get some but he's been too lazy...I mean busy lol

Order from him, he's great. I use him a lot for my down south Kustoms biz down here in Texas man. Been keeping him busy the past couple months lol
