Are they finger print and oily hand magnet. Because my last polished knob from T1R attracted my sweat palms when driving in the summer and basically it made it very sticky later on. The current non polished Neo Chrome 490 I have doesn't attract that kind of mess, maybe because it's brushed steel instead of polished.

Mine stays pretty clean. They polish it first and then put on the PVD coating. The one you have now is machined and then coated. They just skip the polishing step. It should be exactly the same in terms of grip between the 2.

Looks great! Thanks for your order and the pic!
Hard choice, either Platinum or go with another Neo Chrome to replace my original 490 Neo Chrome....... I drive a WW Evo X what is your suggestion. The platinum kinda is unique because all cars shift knob are generally brush aluminum look to them rather than shiny.

Platinum is more rare
Why not switch it up?
