Metal Polishing That Jazz
We bring the rhythm of Dixieland to the art of metal finishing. From classic car restoration to aerospace precision — your parts deserve the spotlight.
Where Craftsmanship Meets Connecticut Pride
We started back in 2012 in West Hartford with a single buffer and a dream. Today, we've grown into Connecticut's premier destination for metal finishing — but our approach hasn't changed. Every piece gets the same careful attention, whether it's a vintage Cadillac grille or aerospace components for a defense contractor.
Our team combines old-school techniques with modern precision equipment. We don't rush jobs — we perfect them. That's the Dixieland way: deliberate, passionate, and always hitting the right note.
