Ok so updat I have just started cleaning the bar with the mineral wash which the parts of the bar that didn't get much sun is glowing and looks beautiful BUT the lower parts of the bar that got the most sun aren't looking as good in fact it's very dull and I'm wanting it to glow like the top parts. Now there is one thing I actually stopped because there seems to be parts of the finish that are coming off that I'm not sure is supposed to be. Where it's coming off it does look shinier underneath but as I look at the top part it also has this finish that gives it a yellow glow and it's making me think I shouldn't be taking it off. Here is some pictures to help now the close ups are showing you the yellow parts first from the top where it's nice then the bottom where you can see where it's coming off. I just need to know A. Is it supposed to be there and B. Should I be taking it off because it's pretty dirty and I don't see it cleaning up without removing it. If you can help anyone or TheBigT I'm actually taking your advice with cleaning it. I'm not going to continue until I know for sure...Help!
