I worked for hours on the wheels of mine and they do not polish up the same, I think the material they are made of is different on later ones. Anyhow, imitation is the greatest form of flattery isnt it?

Looks very nice - that's the main reason I wanted an earlier model as the wheels were polished - I'll have a go with my SE this week, that will be later stuff so I will see if it will polish - Pity you live so far away or I'd offer to have a go at yours
