We're putting the house back together in the whirlwind wake of the Siding and Window Dudes. The dust kicked up by a single window replacement was more evident in the bathroom than elsewhere, due to its preponderance of flat, shiny surface. Then, too, the guyzos had to wash their hands someplace, so the vanity bowl was pretty spattered. So as long as I'm wiping off dust and scouring off spatters, it wasn't that much more work to make it extra-pretty.
Somewhere along the line, Dennis, whose hobbies stretch to the study and re-creation of medieval armor, discovered that the Gel-Gloss he uses to shine and rust-proof armor works amazingly well on a clean vanity. The surfaces can be polished to beyond what Windex can offer, and for the next week or so water beads up in the sink-bowl, the better to race down the drain and not pool into scale. Lovely stuff, that.
The point--the thicker end of it, anyway--is that a fringe perspective provided a better solution than a conventional one (i.e. relying on a standard household cleaner) would have done. The sharper end of the same point is "Don't dismiss out-of-left-field ideas out of hand."
