So,
Our finishing company is backed up fro the next 2-3 weeks we have polished a few sets to get caught up on our back orders. It costs us a little more, and the polishing is good, but not perfection at 12" they are 3' perfect more a factor of the equipment we are using, but overall I'm thinking I like these. You can see the satin finish on the right. The only thing is as you buff you can can see ANY imperfection. Maybe I'm too picky but what are your thoughts? The satin finish is easier, and costs less, but the polish is closer to OEM. If you note the machine swirl marks in the satin, the polished ones are almost indistinguishable from the OEM (except when you go to remove they will not be corroded on). Attached thumbnail(s)
