I hate diamond plate period! When I look back on how much time I wasted trying to keep that stuff as nice as yours I become sad. I went to stainless in every possible application I could find. Bigger bucks up front but way less time polishing. Excellent post though for those of you who love the stuff.

In a way ... I charge by the job itself, but also I figure in what I would make an hour to help figure out the total for the job
