Titanium looks as good as when I bought it 20 years ago as a new frameset, I just wipe it down every few rides. At one time I had 14 bikes on the road, had an accident and couldn't ride and sold all except this titanium just in case I got back at it. I thought it would be the most durable and keep it's looks, glad I did. A few years ago I used a stainless steel polish used for restaurant equipment and it looked shiny, even better but really doesn't need it. I am in the Fort Myers, Bonita Springs area and will throw up a pic next time I have it out
