Looks nice. I've seen a few warbird and museum exhibits that I was sorely tempted to grab wax and a rag!

Does Mequires charge for doing the warbird?

I too use their products on my show cars, good stuff.
And I amused some of the I plastic polish to get rid of a scratch on the Bell 47 bubble.


Every time Of go to Pima, I look at the natural metal C-124 and think of what a job it would be to polish it.
All it needs is a cherry picker, 300-400 buffer pads and 20 gallons of polish!
I wish I lived in Tucson, I'd volunteer for the job...in the winter. :)

The team is 100% volunteer. Meguiars donates the products as well as AutoGeek Car Wax Super Store and Rupes polishers.

I also work with The Pima Air and Space Museum. We polished up their VC-137 and have been invited to polish some of their bare aluminum aircraft.

So many airplanes to polish...so little time!

Many years ago, I was at Pima when the B-58 was being polished, it looked great for a long time.
A shiny Hustler is a thing of beauty...

Together volunteers my thanks (not that it means a lot) and thank Barry (Meguire) for donating the materials. I met him years ago at Barrett-Jackson, he seemed like a nice guy.
