Wanting to refresh my 350X bit and pieces. Anyone got a contact (near California preferably) that I can ship these off to?

Burbank plating. I've never used them but sent a referral there for automotive stuff and he was very satisfied.

Ever thought about a Caswell system or an Eastwood system?

Will check, thanks! Don't think I'd need enough to justify buying my own system.

Here's a link to my attempt with the Eastwood system.

Since then I've used the Caswell system and its superior but way more costly.

If your fasteners are not too bad you could flash dip them in phosphoric acid for 2 to 3 seconds...........it really works wonders

I use this shop for polishing stainless and aluminum . Nobody is better but they ain't cheap . They can remove dings from stainless and reduce pits in chrome plated pot metal.
