I,m not so sure you will end up with a clean look to be honest.

I saw a DeLorean last week on the A21, it looked a right mess. I seem to remember that even when new these looked scruffy, all finger prints etc shout.

DeLorean used brushed stainless from memory, we have some polished stainless appliances at home and they only look good immediately after a clean.

I,d be inclined to use ali and polish that, saving money and wieght.

Used to work for a cleaning company when ever we had stainless appliances to clean we used to wipe them with Johstons baby oil made them shine a treat and stopped the fingerprints, not sure what it would be like on your car though??

Ill give it a try and let you know!! The stainless is a right git to keep clean. find the best method to get a real good shine is windowlean (the cream version) looks a million $$ after a clean with that

"when ever we had stainless appliances to clean we used to wipe them with Johstons baby oil made them shine a treat"

Might even improve aerodynamics being slippery
