Default Question for those of you with a lot of polished parts

I have a question for those of you with a lot of polished parts [mostly, items from MBA] under the hood.

How long do you go between polishing the parts?

Do you remove them for polishing?

How long does it usually take you to polish everything under the hood?

I usually polish 3 times a year, Zoop Seal works wonders.
Yes I do remoive them to ensure the whole part gets re polished, that is because iM a perfectionist. If I dont it bugs me.

Total hours, between 3 to 5 depending on how it looks before hand.

3 times per year. No Zoop here. I should get some.

I use a buffer on a drill. Power tools give better results in less time than by hand (of course)

Chrome owns polishing.

More money at first but very low maintenance if you don't drive your car in bad weather.

For cleaning time yes, but chrome just doesn't have the look of polished parts.
