Title: Reservoirs, coffin - how to maintain the black finish?
Post by: stopintime on May 23, 2008, 05:02:01 PM
It seems to me that those coffins become grey after a short time. I thought about waxing or oiling them.
How do you keep them black as new?

Yeah, only the caps.  I hadn't thought about the actual coffin.  Man, now that you point it out I'm gonna have to fix them too.  :(
