HAS ANYONE USED AIH CHROME IN IOWA ?

Here are tailight bezels that AIH did for me. Perfection!! The SS pair was $1,000. The El Camino pair was $600, about five years ago. Turn around is months to a year, talk to Steve.

Keystone does all my bumpers. A few years ago they bought Gopher Bumper in Brainard MN. Ask for "Show Chrome". Very satisfied, but mark your bumpers for ID. I had one come back that was not my core and fit like crap. They did make it right with me.
A buddy who I am helping has '67 Chevelle bumpers and bumper guards at Keystone now. Est. $3,000 and 16 week turnaround.

I also recommend The Finishing Touch in Chicago. Perfection and $$$$. Besides chrome they also do stainless and anodized aluminum restoration.

Good Luck! - Bill W

To all you experienced bumper chrome experts...........
I had a VERY NICE 70 Camaro Rear Bumper that was done by a Seattle
Shop 30 years ago............never installed....
Has been wrapped in foam paper or bubble wrap and otherwise protected...
While looking at it today i "felt the need" to take a 2" Round Flat Cotton Buff
on a small 90' Air Motor using WENOL Pink to damage it......
On a 6" long area the WENOL Pink induced swirl scratches into the chrome.....
How if at all can I remove these minor fine line scratches

I have tried WENOL Blue with a Yellow MicroFiber Towel rubbing in straight
back and forth motion.......better but not scratch free like rest of bumper

HOW DO YOU keep your expensive rechromed bumper 100% Clean and shiny

Thanks, Chuck Sharin
