Ok, you can be unhappy with the shine, long as you're going to put them back .... *smile* You've got some great pieces in there so I don't blame you, I'd want to try and bring it out as much as possible too. I've been running mine in AO for 5 days then 5 days in the Cerium. Did the last two loads that way and was really impressed with the shine.

Third pic, that one right under the quarter ... very cool looking. I see several that have great possibilities for wraps.

phoe,
Love those shapes. If you don't feel like wrapping you could certainly glue a nice end cap on some of these. The shine isn't bad but we've all been humbled by rollingstone, he's raised the bar as they say
