smooth is really nice for sure, however this isn't susposed to be a show car with a cleaned bay...
I wonder how good a cleaned bay would look after 5 years, or 10.

surely it'll be easier to keep clean as it'll have a smooth surface so should just be able to wipe it clean...

If I can't fix it at home, it ain't getting fixed.

Looking good.
As far as the bay goes, I don't think it really matters. Depends on what you can be ares*d to do. Smooth takes more prep and time to get a better finish, if you can be bothered, do that.
