Single pack verses Two pack


Every now and then we are asked if we can offer a more economical price on polishing by using a single pack clear lacquer instead of a two-pack clear lacquer.
The thought in the mind of the client is that single pack lacquer is cheaper to purchase and easier to apply so cost savings can be made in both purchasing materials and in the application process.

At Simmonds Polishing we are often asked to develop finishing systems to suit the specific individual requirements of a client. Recently we undertook a two-week research and development project for a very unusual project.

Records of every job


As part of our ongoing commitment to offering the best in customer service, Simmonds Polishing keeps records of every project we undertake.

Often we see a panel or two come back needing repairs. It may just be a small scratch or perhaps something more serious. Sometimes a client may supply additional joinery that must match the original painting we did previously.
