Was a whopping $350. Now, I know this is an exorbitant price to pay seemingly on aesthetics... But living in the rust belt, and having nil rust as is, I'm protecting my investment. At least, that's how I rationalized it to my wallet
And to be completely honest, it isn't something you have to have done all the time; I can do the inbetween work, like hand wash and wax.
