It will look a lot nicer when cleaned, and crinkle finish in general is not bad at all. When cleaned and nice it has a shine to it, and the effect of the textured surface is not bad at all. You might change your mind. At first I thought it was the most impractical surface, collecting dirt and dust, a lot of work to clean up, but after the initial cleaning and polishing it has held up very well. I'm sure someone will be intersted.
