Shiney down pipes / link pipes.
What options are there - if any - for a coating on the pipes of my TLS to make them shiney and clean?
I would like something that requires no more than a wash and brush up when they get dirty.
Paint finishes always go off after a while or need constant attention and re-doing...................
Polishing the stainless steel needs constant attention.............
So what else could be done?

Camcote in Warrington do ceramic coating in satin black or chrome.
Low heat transfer = Low stick crap + chrome = shiny  |
