Thanks! I'd like to check out a pic of your rails when they're done.

I was at the NY Bike Show last month and bought a two-stage metal polish and sealer kit. During the demonstration they were using it on soda cans, and after the sealer was applied water would just bead and roll right off the surface. Yes, I'm sure I overpaid for this stuff and it's probably no different than most formulas out there... But at the time it looked like just what I was looking for to put the finishing touches on an intercooler pipe I was trying to polish the letters on. Anyway, I used it on a polished i/c I bought and it really brought out a nice shine just using a hand cloth. I wonder how well/long it would hold up under the hood?

So I guess the best choices are powdercoating if it works out to be less expensive than Zoop, or the wax for a temporary protective measure. Clearcoat spray sounds like too much trial and error to find the brand that will work the best.

Thanks!
