Here is a little more about Steve:  

He started out at Lincoln Industry working the nickel chrome line, then transferred to the polishing line doing swing arms for Harley and a bunch of other Harley parts. While there he started polishing on the side, which ended up leading into his own business, Elite Polishing. He started polishing custom bikes about 5 years ago for Bornfree and now for Sturgis. He does stainless and aluminum and uses Tarheel Parts Inc, supplies for everything.

Watch the following video to see how to easily polish your headlights with an electric drill. We recommend this method over other methods, such as bug spray or quick fix kits because they can actually damage your headlights over time, or wear down quickly. In this video no sanding is needed, but we will have a video to come if your headlights are really bad off. Please see our Headlight Restoration Polishing Kit listed below to get your supplies needed to restore your headlights.

An excellent way to remove finger tracts and compound residue from your part is by using our Whiting Powder. Use it when the part is still extremely hot. Use a cotton rag, dip it into the whiting and wipe the part off. Sold in 1lb, 3lb, or 50lb bags.

Tag us on instagram #tarheelparts with a picture of your finished project for a chance to be featured on our Mirror Finish Monday posts.

To honor the past holiday, July 4th,  we wanted to feature a company based in the USA. Rustic Attitude is a company that creates handcrafted jewelry and accessories. They use our compounds to polish stainless, silver, brass and copper pieces into custom works of art. Specifically our Blizzard Compound, Spiral and Flannel Buffing Wheels, and Flap Wheels for sanding. Not only have they been our customers for over 25 years, but we have been lucky enough to form a friendship with them over these years.

Whether you are an established jewelry maker or would like to polish and restore some of your jewelry that has been sitting around we would love to help you select which of our products will work best for you.

Here are just a few examples of Rustic Attitude’s work:

Revitalize your silver, brass, copper, stainless, etc. household items quickly with our Wenol products. 

We found some old tarnished silverware and gave it the makeover it needs (See how to use our Wenol below). Whether you're doing a wedding shower, baby shower, birthday, anniversery, or any event, this is a fun way to bring a vintage feel to your modern day event. Just set up a beautiful place setting, add some home cooking and you'll have a party you won’t forget!

Wenol:
To polish out tarnish on your silverware, candlesticks, brass items, sterling ware, etc. this is the product for you. Just take a clean rag (cut up t-shirts work awesome) with a small amount of Wenol and hand rub off the tarnish. Use a clean rag to give it its luster. Use our Orange tube of Wenol for the more tarnished items, or the Blue tube for lightly tarnished items. Then you're all set!
