I have just wrapped up a book on the restoration of bright metal auto trim. It is my first how-to-do-it book and that's exciting to me. One of the interesting people who helped me with the book was Mike Freund of Classis Plus Ltd. in North Find du Lac, Wis. (www.classicsplusltd.com)

Two of Mike's talents are polishing stainless steel and the restoration of steering wheels. Mike made buffing stainless trim look easy. He has these wonderful little hammers to knock out dents and dings, a trusty old, traditional sandbag to hammer against and a very simple, but effective buffing technique.

Mike isn't only talented. He was willing to share his talents to help other people.And that's what this great hobby is all about. If you get a chance, hop over to his Website and take a look at some of the fantastic cars Mike has done.
