Just my .02 but i would suggest having it Jet-hot ceramic coated vs polishing.

If you polish it it's just going to tarnish and corrode back to how it is now.

This. And will look gross whenever it heats up/cools down/gets water on it...

It would be impossible to maintain the polish.

Anyone here have experience with the Jet-hot Extreme 1300 polish coat? How does it look on a daily driver after a year or so. Looking for long-term visual appeal. The Swain-tech coating is really hard to keep clean and I'm getting tired of it. I'm looking into coating all my hot parts the Jet-hot polish color and all the cold parts wrinkle black.
