Yep. Clear coat is not good (IMHO) and makes it impossible to keep up the polished look.
With just polishing and no coating, you have to use a lot of elbow grease and "Mothers" every
6 months to keep the high polished look. Good to have some cheap labor to help with that. ;-))

Polished ZFs do look nice but I always wondered how long they stay looking like that. Is a clear coat sprayed on after the polish? Otherwise I would suspect that it would oxidize eventually.

I was visiting Lloyd Butfoys shop once and saw a ZF Trans that he had
sent out to be polished and was absolutely incredible. Don't know who
he uses but it looked awesome.
