George,

Do you offer re-anodizing services for aluminum trim or do you just remove the original anodizing and then polish the piece?

George polished the aluminum moldings that go around the top of the doors. A couple of them were scratched pretty bad. He did a real nice job. All the scratches are gone, and they shine like new. I removed the anodizing, but he will do it if you need it done. He does not re-anodize, but when I saw the moldings polished, I couldn't think of a good reason to anodize them anyway. They look perfect. A quick hand polish a couple time each season, should be all they need. What George doesn't know (until he reads this), is that I screwed up one of the moldings putting it on the door. I have another one that will fit better, but it's got to be polished like the others.

Mark, recently did all of the stainless trim for my LS6. It is the best that I have ever seen. Not only does he do quality work but his customer service is outstanding. Besides that he is a true car guy that gets it, (forgive him for his Mopar roots).
