Time Tested Restorations
An on-site restoration and mirror polishing service, dedicated to vintage Airstreams, where your location is my workshop.
Traveling to your location is my business
Time Tested Restorations, has no "fixed” business address, as a mobile restoration and mirror polishing service that works on-site at your location.
Traveling full-time in my own 1966 Airstream 20' GlobeTrotter, working from driveway to driveway, I can only commit to one client at a time.
I work exclusively on vintage Airstreams, and I do stay until the agreed upon work is finished to each clients satisfaction.

Mirror Polishing Services with the following included,
at no additional cost:
- Removal of any and all marker, taillights, awnings and hardware, to polish the skin under the attached items.
- The stripping of any clear coats, decals or pin and paint stripes, old caulk residue, and sealants.
- Rust removal on the exposed A-Frame, Entrance Step, and Rear Bumper, plus repainting with your choice of color.
- Mirror polishing the Airstream skin and any aluminum hardware like belt lines, rub rails, and marker light fixtures.
- Re-installation and sealing of all removed or new LED lights and hardware.
Note: Seam sealing with Acryl-R sealer after polishing is highly recommended and offered at an additional price.
Once mirror polished and under "normal use" your Airstream will remain shiny for many years without the need for re-polishing, waxing, or clear coats.
Appraisal professionals agree, any value spent on mirror polishing an Airstream is a direct increase to the appraisal value.
A mirror polished shine that lasts for years*
