Has anyone here ever seen one that was blasted with media and clear coated without yellowing?

Bob, after Marc polished my engine we sprayed Gibbs Penetrating Oil onto a microfiber and wiped it on the polished engine. After about 30 seconds wipe it off with a clean microfiber and you are done. It seals up the pores, no added polishing needed and no oxidation. I have done nothing to mine for almost 5 years other than maybe wipe down with a damp microfiber if dusty after a car show with the hood open all day. Bob Lambe told me about Gibbs as he used it on his polished engine and after seeing his, had to do mine!
