I tried the polishing thing, never looked all that great. Replaced my lowers with chrome last week, couldn't be happier.

I bought the kit from HD, which includes the cans/fork covers for around $640.00

***** Shiny will send you chrome fork lowers for only $240 and you send your stock ones to him within 30 days....

To protect, Im a big fan of Sharkhide. To give an example, I had a set of American Racing Torque Thrusts on my Vette, they had a raw mag finish. I polished them then coated them and all I did was wipe em down..

U had a friend spray my polished lowers with clear Cerakote. I traded him a bunch of 9mm brass I had given to me, so it didn't cost me anything
