Rick's Stainless tank owners - Clear coat?
 
I recently bought a Rick's stainless notched tank (thanks to Frank @ GPSuperstore!). I am wondering for those with stainless tanks did you put anything on the tank, like say a clearcoat?

For those that did what did you use? I did a search looked like a couple people used Glisten PC from Por-15. Whatever you did use how did it come out, are you happy with it? (pictures are great).

If you didn't do anything to it, how did it hold up to being driven? Did you wish did do something to it? (pictures are again great!).


Thanks in advance!

They clean up so quick I would not clear coat one. Michael just did his in Project Prodigy which is getting a little dingy after 2 1/2 years. He used some OOOO steel wool and combined it with a little liquid aluminum polish he had, rubbed it all one way, looks perfect again. The entire thing took 15 minutes

Yep, I do the same thing with gray (ultra fine) scotchbrite to my Rock Valley tank maybe once a year. I buff in one direction to keep the grain uniform.

6 years old now, still looks new.
