Things that look like this: And this: And this: And this:
Are somehow magically transformed. Into this...
Making such a miracle happen takes: Spit-and-polish organization...
A blasting cabinet... A toilet brush, countless buckets and drums...
Powerful rectifiers, generating thousands of amps of current...
Large tanks full of hot, bubbling, exotic chemicals, festooned with air hoses and high-capacity cabling...
And a very special hell called the buffing room. (Shown here shortly AFTER its annual cleaning.)
Braving monsters like this which will strip off your skin easier than they remove metal.
There is sophistication, skill, and technology in the midst of all this chaos, amongst the scraps of wire and dirty gloves.
And orchestrating it with flair is Bob, the evil genius behind it all, bringing decades of experience to this hard and dirty enterprise.
An unsuspecting Bob caught sitting next to a rack of mysterious devices. Are they torture implements, or tools of his trade?
It indeed takes a lot of skill and hard, dirty work to turn an old, neglected piece of metal into something shiny and new. Along the way, lots of good old dirt is generated. And literally bucketfuls of rust are accumulated.
But somehow it all comes together, and from the boiling cauldron, emerges beautifully refinished, gleaming metal:
Such a transformation does not come easy. It takes Skill... Power... Hard work...
BIG NUTS. And...
Come join Bob and the Gretna Plating crew as they turn rusty crap into gleaming chrome.
