Many vehicles of late are steering away from using any type of metal finish due to high-maintenance needs. Chrome, polished aluminum, stainless steel, and other metals are getting rarer but show up more commonly on wheels and some trim. Antiques are where we see most of the need for metal restoration. The process will vary depending on the level of damage and so does the cost.
However, there is nothing better than that deep mirror finish once the time has been spent to restore. Everything is done mechanically using polishers to achieve the best results. Remember though, that’s only part of the process. Superior long-term protection is key to keeping maintenance costs down in the future and less time dealing with foggy or rusty metal periods.
