Your stainless guy does some of the best polishing I've seen, compared to the other 69 that was being judged - side by side the stainless on your car was far superior.

A Cortez Silver, '69 Z/28 hardly needs extra bright chrome to stand out LOL. I doubt many of the dozens of people flocking around it even noticed the bumpers as exceptional. I thought you were going to need to run people over to get it lined up with the lift for the underside inspection.

There's no question, the stainless will polish much brighter than factory. But it will oxidize over time (might not be a problem on a show car) and isn't the factory finish.
