Spent the weekend putting new goodies on.

[Easy Ed]

Yup, I polished mine a couple times too using the same polish I used on the back wheel of the 1999 HD Night Train. Now I don't bother with it.

I too take the skid plate off when I do a lube, oil and rotate the tires so I can look around at the underside of things.

Different strokes for different folks

Why dont you polish the skid up all nice and shiny then clear coat the ****er- Never have to deal w/ it again.

If I ever shine it up again that's what I would do. I have seen a couple skid plates with the H2 and the surrounding area painted different colors. I liked the way it looked.

I guess I'm from a different school of thought...the more I beat mine up, the better I think it looks!

I mean...fuk making it look pretty, it's a SKID plate. It's made to take abuse, not be tarted up like a serving platter.

Your right its a skid plate and made for beating on. I live in Florida and don't have any rocks to scrape it up with. Trail driving in the sand. So if its not going to get scraped up to sh*t so why not keep it looking nice. Now if I still lived in MI I wouldn't bother doing anything to it. I couldn't keep anything clean and the rock chips living on a dirt road. I have had my truck 9 years now and people still say it looks like it came off the showroom floor. It has never been washed or waxed by anything or one but me. Even my dirt toys get broken down and detailed out after a dirty ride. Still look new. This pic also shows proof for the saying "If the hammer doesn't work get a bigger hammer". It worked!

That's my little girl. She is a garage queen. That car and the H2 are two I never can part with.
