Everything you say regarding loss of gloss (clarity), maintenance, having to strip and re-coat, etc is perfectly true. I was just curious because it hadn't been mentioned and many people would not realize that the finish requires maintenance.
I was taught how to polish gold many years ago and have polished fuel tanks on a race rig so I know what the maintenance is like!
As for anodizing, JMO, but it looks like crap as soon as it starts to get scratched and dinged up. I'm mainly talking about colored anodized finishes here. I'd avoid this on anything but a show vehicle. At least with the plain polished finish you can touch it up!
Thanks for your info!
