My boat has 37 Stainless Steel stanchions. I took one down to the shop
and had the metal polishing guys do a really good job to see how it
would look.

It looked great for a while. 6 months later you couldn't tell which one
was polished.


yeah i think polishing then some kind of protective coating is
probably needed.


I decided the quality of the Taiwanese Stainless, being what it is,
isn't worth the effort. Shiny is nice, but there are other things to do.
