I think I may have to pick up a Handi-Butler and some polishing rouge after reading this thread. I purchased an Ultimate-G at a garage sale over the summer and it really bothers me that it doesnt have the mirror like finish that my Diamond Edition does. I used Mothers Mag and Aluminum Polish on it after I bought it, and while it did make it look better, it still doesnt look as nice as I would like it too. I purchased my Diamond Edition new and after all these years, it still looks fabulous! I dont understand why the Ultimate G is so tarnished when it isnt that much older than my Diamond. Does anyone wax their machines with high quality automobile wax to maintain the shine? I know that some collectors wax their plastic machines after they have restored them and was wondering if the same can be done with metal machines. Also, what do you use to clean your metal machines with regularly? I use Windex occasionally or distilled white vinegar, both of which I know are not the best to use to keep the machine looking its best. I love so many different machines but, for me nothing looks better than a nice polished Kirby!! :)
