with my expeerience with acrylics you can get an awesome shine off them to the point where you wouldnt know the difference....but in terms of maintance aslong as you constantly wax them there shouldnt be much need to keep polishing it as the wax protects the clear....pretty simple really do the right maintance and it will last just as long
