The interest in the Poldiac is coming at a good time as the CNY will for sure slow down the posts on this thread.
I have been using Poldiacs for over a year now and I have had zero problems with them. The staff at MMVapors are the greatest people you will ever deal with and take a lot of pride in their products and customers.
The ones purchasing the Poldiac at the present time are getting the best mod ever made in my opinion and for the lowest price they have ever been offered.

I wouldn't do it. I tried the coating thing and it was not cool.

Just keep a microfiber towel around and wipe it down after the use.

Ok thanks Weez .. If I mess up this "4x more expensive than EU316 SS" I will be ......! So what can I use as a polishing agent because it is important that I maintain its pristine shine and condition, and I heard that the finish gets dull after you clean it with soap water, homemade paste etc .. Cape cod clothes suck. I used those on my Copper Manhattan once and it was God awful :facepalm:

Yea don't use any compounds on it yet, just wipe it off. Once you start using polish, you will need to keep on using it more often. My brass paps is still in shiny condition after just wiping it down. Or wear gloves when using the mod my opinion. I do that sometimes when I don;t feel like polishing the brass SR.

Just got email from MMV, Poldiac is on the way, like you said here on Wednesday. Woo hoo!!!!!

*sigh*... I really should have ordered an Overone with my Poldiac. I didn't realize they were available in 22.6mm. I'm almost positive I need a satin one to go on my Full Satin Classic. I could have saved about $23 in shipping charges had I done my homework earlier. Out the door now would be $100.35 using the discount code Ms. Nicole posted.

Did you see the Poldiac/OverOne combo? You can pick the Poldiac Classic of your choice and the finish on the Overone.

I almost did that as well, but when it got to checkout it was almost 215 bucks.

Joined the Poldiac club today too ;) Ordered the Poldiac Uma Classic :)

Thanks for the heads up on this mod being available so cheap !!!

That's gonna be sweet, I was eyeing the Belail for a long time. I was afraid the brass will get ugly yellow over time. :(

Then The RW and Freddy :D was on my list, but major fingerprint magnet. I would go crazy wiping it down.

But I have my mind set on the Aname. :p

I liked the shiny shiny :D I don't mind polishing, but I'm sure this will be a white glove mod at home for me ;)

Shop Gel-Gloss 12-oz Multipurpose Bathroom Cleaner at Lowes.com

I have used the Gel-Gloss on all my mods and had good results. Stainless Steel, Copper, Brass......it has worked great.
This stuff is made for Fiberglass, such as shower enclosures, and that is what I first purchased it for. It does not scratch and contains Carnauba wax. I just spray a small amount on a very soft microfiber cloth and clean. I then polish with a clean section of the cloth.
I purchased this at Lowes.

Nikki,
I am not sure how it would work on the material that your new mod is made of, so I would say use this at your own risk as I don't know how this mod material reacts with wax.

Yeah, I saw that this morning. I'll probably go ahead and order the Overone anyway. I have about $200 in my PP account from selling my Sig100+ and all of my clones (except for my SX Zero clone, which I haven't decided whether to keep or not). So, the money is there, just need to pull the trigger.

I had a very hard time choosing between the Cloud Wizard and the Mariam. I like the slotted shirt but I think it makes the switch area look a little too busy compared to the rest of the mod. I guess you can't go wrong with either. Wouldn't hurt so bad if didn't pick up a brass 4nine for Jvapes sale literally the day before. I guess I'm sucker for authentic sales.

Nikki, take a look at Renaissance Wax. Then when time comes for maintenance, heard a lot of good things about Nevr Dull. On the crappy backup computer again, so sorry, no links... :(

While I was driving yesterday, I realized that the black finish on my SMPL was coming off with my fingernails :ohmy: so needless to say, it was pretty much down to badly clearcoated polished brass by the time I got home. :laugh: So now I know why they come out with black mods: they're the ones that didn't pass QC! But jeez, they could've at least primed it first. :grr: Not really sure what to do with it from here. Leave it, or Candy Apple Red? :laugh:

I wouldn't clear coat it either. Very difficult to do a perfect job on a tube.

Wrap it or use a microfiber cloth and good polishing compound. You can buy both in the automotive department of Walmart, etc.

I use those microfiber cloths on my vehicles and TVs and computer monitor also.

Yeah that is what I am going to do. If I messed up a clone then no biggie, but to ruin a genuine Lux tube would be tragic beyond words.

And what is a good polishing compound? :unsure:
