Here is one of the hangar mates to the M3W. I only polish it once a year, starting in January, and ending in December.
I really struggled when I chose the color for my Morgan, but I knew very well what rain can do to a polished finish (I flew a lot of freight in a polished DC-3 in all types of weather).
The color black was the next most dramatic, although I'm tempted to strip it and polish... It's a disease.
