Metal polishing for Northampton customers
Northampton is about 130 miles from our workshop near Weston-super-Mare, so items come to us by insured courier and go back the same way once they have been inspected and wrapped.
Stainless steel exhaust systems and tailpipe trims on classic and performance cars take a long time to polish well, but the result lasts. Heat marks and dullness can usually be polished out. Deep pitting or corrosion from the inside of the pipe cannot, and we will tell you before we start if a section is past saving.
Our main metal polishing page covers every metal we work with, from aluminium and brass to stainless and mild steel.
We specialise in restoring all types of classic/vintage car parts, motorcycle parts, marine parts, BMX/Raleigh Chopper parts, household items and bespoke items. We can also take on industrial polishing work.
Polishing is a critical part of the electroplating service which is carried out by experienced polishers using industrial machines before plating begins.
All marks, blemishes and imperfections need to be removed at this stage, but as we are working in most cases with second hand metal this is not always possible and sometimes it is inevitable that pits may remain in restoration items after plating.
Die cast and aluminium in particular can contain a certain amount of porosity therefore an initial assessment will be made upon receipt, so you the customer are fully aware of the overall finish that we will be able to achieve.
Whilst metal polishing services are part of the electroplating process, we are happy to offer this as a stand alone service. We can meet your individual requests by polishing all types of metal to a mirror or satin finish. We provide a high quality finish on Aluminium or Stainless Steel items.
Please call us on 01934 820 454 or email us to discuss your polishing requirements.
