Ally polish/don't polish?
Discussion
Finally got my pre-cat Griff friday, just in time for rush hour traffic & rain. Entertained half the M40 crowd, as I had to stop on hard shoulder and struggled to extract roof panel from boot ! Sixty quid of petrol later, I am totally hooked. Anyway, spending some time giving the car a good valet, and fancied polishing the window A-frames and door handles with a standard metal polish. Does anybody know if this is OK, or are these bits lacquered??

Well if they were laquered, then they wasn't laquered well, as mine soon got tarnished. They polish up nicely though - haven't seen a problem doing it on my Chimaera...

I think they may have been laquered when new. Mine looked a bit grubby so I used brasso/duraglit something like that... Anyway they do seem to get grubbier quicker now, but it doesn't take much to get them all sparkly again, and they certainly look much better than they did.
