20 screaming polishers, 50 pounds of polish, 600+ man hours......
We were recently contracted to polish a WW2 B17 Flying Fortress.
We were exhilarated and honored to have been trusted with a fabulous artifact of American history.
This job was HUGE. It has to have been the largest and most difficult job Superior Shine have ever undertaken.
We found the aircraft to have a satin sheen to it.
Our job was to restore the aluminum to a brilliant shine worthy of this American Hero.

DAY THREE.........
We are now in our "groove" and progressing nicely.
Notice how much surface area just one wing is. Keep in mind we had to do top and bottom. Then there was the other side to do!
High five !!
