I have to agree polished look brill but just not practical in UK. I'd rather drive it than clean & polish it. Perhaps Q8 should have gone for polished then he would not have been worried about his paint being sand blasted.
I took my 1964 Bentley S3 to a rally once & they expected you to remove all car & boot contents to be judged. They were more into cleaning & polishing than driving so I did not go back again.
