Congratulations!

There are 2 immutable facts about owning a Kirkham.
1. You purchased the best Cobra, period.
2. You will never be able to own another brand if you had a Kirkham first and be content (unless it's a Shelby branded Kirkham).

My KMP was brushed. Even though they look pretty when perfect, it doesn't stay that way long. The slightest touch of a fingernail will cause a scratch. So if you like it perfect, you'll have to keep it up but it's no big deal. Just a different type of maintenance than what you're used to. If you like patina, a brushed finish can get to an awesome look, IMO.
