Why do people have so called show (mirror) polishing done? 

It seems to be an obsession in OSbmx that has lasted for years, it was the same in motorcyles a few years ago when the Street Figher style was in vogue but it has largely died out.

I stripped some gold stuff after following a how to in BMX Action Bike IIRC and polished it with some Brasso to a shine after a week or two it dulled down and that's the way it stayed.

Was show polishing done BITD if it was I can't remember it.

I think it's always been a big thing in Cannock
Although there it's used to turn old parts into NOS ones

griff:
Cannock is a mystical place where magic like that really happens, all to do with an ancient ley line that passes right through the town and grants anyone with a polishing mop the ability to literally 'turn back time'. Cher even wrote a song about it after she was disappointedly gazumped on a three bed semi near Heath Hayes and missed out.

Interestingly, the same ley line continues through all the way to Derbyshire where the same magic powers are freely available
However due to differences in geology the polishing mop needs to be replaced with a can of spray paint
