High Tech Finishing, a Houston-based provider of decorative metal plating for customer aircraft interiors, has developed a new maintenance kit designed to preserve the appearance of metal plating. It is offering the kit free to show visitors at its NBAA booth (No. 5251). The package comes with nonabrasive materials and a special polishing pad. For easy stowage, it measures just 6.25 by 6.25 by 0.5 inches. According to company v-p of sales and marketing Rick Niefield, most damage to decorative plating occurs through neglect. “Our new maintenance kit is a big boost for owners who want to protect the investment they made in the interior of their aircraft,” he said.
