2 mins with ali polish every now and then and it looks as good as new! I use Autosol but anything else works fine.

With the ceramic coating I don't get any water spots, I have never put any work into, and I won't ever need to put any work into to have it keep looking great. Ya I spent $75 up front, but for the most part my time is more valuable than my money.

Not saying one way is better than the other, just giving you what I believe are the pros and cons between polishing or ceramic coating.

Are they're any particular colors of ceramic that hold up the best,even though I think i do like that chrome look? Plus do they ever fade at all?

Mine has not faded. My color from the shop I got it done at was named "Stainless Steel".

I imagine discoloration would be more of a concern on higher temperature parts, but the pipes in skis really don't get nearly as hot as types of engines.

ceramic coating, from what i heard, is used most on street bikes because they have such high heat tolerance.

it shouldnt fade. imo

Well thanks to all!

I just sent my pipe out today to get the Chrome look ceramic coating done to it!

Anyone done that to a SS pipe? Like the blaster pipe for instance?
