The problem is it's hard to get to it to maintain the nice mirror finish. In a few months it will start to get dirty.
Ron's right. Our alternators are too hard to get to when they need to be cleaned after getting polished. I powdercoated mine. You can always chrome it, way easier to clean and water won't etch it.
