You've been a great source of information and ideas. Wishing you the best and hope you will still be around the forum for a long time.

Thank you. Just don't get the paint too thick on the inner poles as the clearance between the two is minimal. Paint the bottom poles and polish the uppers is what I would do.

All you have to do is get some RED HOT degreaser and clean them, Then buy some Mothers polish and rub it on til it turns black then wipe it down, repeat if necessary. I polish mine once a year. It really doesn't even take a buffer elbow grease thats all......they will look like chrome...  Takes about maybe an hour depending on the pole material some is rougher then others.

Polish? Wut?  I hear that takes hours and hours of grinding manual labor. Sweatshop stuff!

Hmmmm. Just checked on mine online, and it says by 3/21. I wonder if they got stuck somewhere, as they are still showing somewhere in WV as of this morning.
Will keep you posted.
Thanks!

That's a LOT of hole drillin'!
And thank you AGAIN...just checked the tracking # on our two sets....scheduled to arrive tomorrow! Still may arrive today though, because unlike FedEx (who won't delivered until the scheduled date even if it's sitting at the facility here for two days) UPS *will* go ahead and deliver if it arrives early.

That's only what some people want you to believe, it took less then an hour for a pair by hand. Just use a good degreaser and get the rough black off and then use Mothers and follow the directions when the polish get blacks wipe them with a clean cloth mico fiber works the best no grinding or buffers needed. Did it both ways and bet you couldn't tell me which set was done by machine or hand.....They then become PRETTY, PRETTY, PRETTY..... But it's best to just use them they way you get them, I don't want anyone to have PRETTY poles like mine.......

No I did 1/2 of a pole and said screw this. Then I did it the easy way and I bet you can't tell the difference even you........ Buffing wheel is to dam dirty after I already spent the money for the compound and 2 wheels.
