Santa Cruz Metal Polishing

Oct 2023

I have a brass and white iron bed. I gave him the knobs and posts to polish and clear coat. They are better than they were, but now my knobs have multiple dents and they have some kind of black crud on them that won’t come off. They were wrapped in newspaper so at first I thought it was newsprint. But it’s something else. For $100 an hour cash I expected (premium pricing) I expected premium work, (not).

We took in two items: this porthole window and a patina sculpture. Ian did a fantastic job in bringing them back to their original glory! Couldn't be happier! Besides doing a wonderful job, Ian is very nice and fun to talk to. Highly recommend!

We have an old copper and brass samovar, not valuable except sentimentally. Our cats knocked it off a five-foot cabinet and the base was bent, plus new dents in the old urn. We took it to Ian who set it up straight again and worked out the dents beautifully. And in only a couple of days! It was worth the drive from San Jose and we'd highly recommend his work! Prices are very reasonable. So happy to have the samovar back in better shape than before we took it to him. Check out his work at scmetalpolishing.com
