Guide to restoring.

Post by grumps »

Hi

Has anyone got this book and is it any good for a (not quite) beginner to restoration? I need to understand getting things polished, chromed and nice 'n' shiny as well as most mechanical aspects of restoration.

Thanks

David

Plenty of polishers/chromers about. It's a mucky horrid game is polishing.
Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.
