New paint is great and all. But if you're restoring an old Corvette, nothing makes it shine like some fresh chrome plating!

Quick-Glo. You can see from the clean areas how effective this product is with very little rubbing involved. The entire bumper was covered with surface rust before a single application of Quick-Glo in selected locations. By the way, for those who may be interested in trying the product, it is available on-line from several suppliers at lesser prices than quoted by the manufacturer. Shop around.

Looks an awful lot like Switzerland.....I was there in '89, stayed in Interlaaken, and went up into the Alps.....the whole place looked like a Riccola commercial....even the cows had copper bells on. Perhaps the most beautiful place I've ever been....certainly in Europe!

Could be because you would be hard pressed to find a flat piece of land with the lake and the mountains creating that view here in the US. A beautiful place for sure wherever it is.
