Or what about using Luster Shield, available from the same people who distribute X-Treem... it says it will seal and protect your shine for "up to" 6 months.

Is the polished plate clear coated or protected in any way? I'm just wondering about long-term oxidation. Un-coated aluminum will ozidize to a dull grey-white layer.

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Bright-Lee:
Good Hummerman (gosh I hope I got your name right ) It would probably be cheaper to ship it than pay for the gas money to drive over in your H2. Shipping for Fla. residents is only 15$.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Well, if you put it that way, it costs me about $15 to drive down to the corner grocery; if I drive my H2 to the east coast we're talking way over 15 bucks... But, I wasn't thinking of making a special trip just to save money, more of a day-tripper type thing to enjoy the sights and enjoy the H2... But, now that you've brought up the fuel cost, maybe I will save the money and just ship it... This could start a trend of NOT driving and in a couple of years I could brag about having a REALLY low-mileage vehicle. Oh yeah, with a VERY shiny skid plate!

Guess maybe I should just wait until I'm ready for my first oil change, pull off the plate and ship it over to you. While I'm waiting to get it back, I could then leisurely change the oil and track down all the lube points hiding underneath the Hummer2.

Darn, I've never visited Palm Beach... Oh well.

The Goodhummerman, you are more than welcome to come on over to my side of the state. I'll add your Hummer to my portfolio

Maybe some day...You got it...that is indeed the stuff I recommend. FYI, I am fairly certain that the kit shown comes with smaller sized containers, hence the slightly lower price (versus buying them individually).

To everyone...I am sorry about my spelling. I have tried to proof read everything for you. My polishing is perfect, my spelling is not

Hey, by the way "HUMMER MAN", you had yours done a while ago. How is it holding up?

If anybody has done this "mod" I would really like to see it since I dinged the lower part prety bad last week on the first cherry popping off road experience. You cant see the ding unless you get under the front. I know others would like to see the installed application. Thanks.

I can't help but add that when aluminum is clear coated with laquer, apoxy, etc. it will fade and chip and a "touch-up" would require an entire restoration. Chaching$$$$$ Anodizing is the better choice for aluminum. Most people prefer the shine of the polish but some prefer the protection instead of the mirror finish.
