They might shine but my experience is that clean shiny suspension legs ROT!! I'd clean them with de-greaser etc and then apply lots of wax-oil or similar wax lubricant over the bodies. However your weather may not be as bad as we get it...

I spray mine with duck oil every couple of weeks, as TOMAS said shiny is not always good!!

Mine are super high polished FKs, but cover them in a light oil - preferably something that will stick but not attract dirt. I used GT55 or whatever it is (cycle and paintball lube).
