Polishing bars

Post by Olli Haavisto »

Automotive metal polish and a cotton cloth and my 40+ years old bars are slick and great sounding. A really BIG difference, recommended!

Left: an Emmons bar from 1980, I think
Right: a Sho-Bud bar bought from Shot Jackson at their store on Broadway in Nashville, 1978.
