    Frank,  I do believe the mess is worth the outcome. I am glad to hear
that  you saw a definite
difference in your surface with the rouge after the CEO. I have seen photos
of glass surfaces
finished with ceo and rouge. The rouge surface looks much smoother. What is
great is it only
takes a little bit after using the CEO to bring it up.. Bring the mess on
brother, shine on ..shine on...
