George Lucas of GL Metal Polishing in North Jersey is good - he advertises in Nova Times.

Re: Aluminum trim resto
Sully..I used Pro One in Hobart Indiana out of Hemmings...reasonable price...took a bit long to get the stuff back put I send them 7 pieces of 63 Belair trim..2 pieces are about 6 feet long !! They did a real nice job on the Brite dip anodizing ! Important to send decent straight pieces...trim is usually real thin and if they have to pick and sand too much the anodizing process can burn a hole in the thin spot

Would like to have Very Good Condition and some NOS 70' Camaro Headlight Bezels
polished with minor scratches removed. Do not care about replacing the Brite Dip Anodizing that is currently in place.

Chuck - Are you implying that it would be OK if the anodized "layer" is removed for good? That's what would have to happen on a anodized alum piece....once the scratch, etc occurs the "defect" has likely scratched through the anodized layer. Can't really be "blended", etc with sanding since that would just open up a larger area where the anodizing is removed. Anodizing hardens the aluminum to a certain depth. Accordingly, all the anodizing would have to be removed and then any scratches, etc dealt with. Then the piece becomes a "maintenance" item requiring periodic waxing or polishing. Best bet would be to have the whole pieces redone. Possibly VERY REASONABLE price-wise due to the lack of heavy/numerous scratches.
