Yeah but that was nickel plated. They weren't real keen on polishing it. At least its maintenance free that way though

well after waiting over 3 weeks to get a comp cover polished i can say it wasnt well worth the wait as i had expected, the comp cover is full of ripples where they havent smoothed it off properly, near reckon i could have done a better job myself, in saying that though it came up shiny, but as far as smoothed not so good, reckon im just gonna send all my other stuff off to comp coat in nsw now as ive had them do stuff for me before and there work is great Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
