Well, for many ex
polishers there is a new way.
With the advanced
technology in all parts of the

world it was bound to
happen that someone would
come up with a new system
for shining up the car.

There are a number of
systems on the market but
one of the more popular is
right on the North Shore.

Buffer -King is. a system
that will put a shine on the
car that is guaranteed for the

The end result will, of-

They also claim there is no
discoloration and will stand
up to constant automatic car

The special treatment also
makes it easier to keep the
