Thanks pony power
About the wax, now that you mention it, when I received my polished Meziere elec. water pump there was some information regarding the finish included with the instructions. Something to the effect that they put a coat of wax on the polished surface to maintain it's finish and prevent water spots, etc. and that I should go back over from time to time to keep the factory polish like new... well, too late, but it still looks good.
I'd much rather prefer wax to a clear coat that is going to yellow, chip, and/or spider web on you... leave it natural
NA-TURE!!!! WOOOOO!!!!
(Rick Flair?) uh,hmm....sorry.
