Questions

Polishing FAQ

How do I describe the finish I want?

Send a photo or sample of the finish. Say whether you want a brushed look or a mirror finish, and which faces will show.

Can I leave a tank or part mounted?

Ask before booking. Send photos showing access and say whether you can remove the part. Confirm who handles disassembly.

What photos help with a quote?

Show the whole piece, its size and close-ups of scratches, corrosion or old coatings. Include the metal and quantity.

Good to know

  • Show the worst spot up close and the whole part for scale.
  • No Calgary shop we checked posts prices for this. Send a request to compare quotes.
