Where to brush PCL in NYC area

Hi guys,

I have a Batman incoming and was thinking about brushing the PCL. Any recommendation of where/who to go for that in NYC area ?

Someone told me to go at it myself with a brillo pad. I don't think I want to do that.

Great question. I've wondered this myself. I'll read the answers with interest.

I wouldn't do it yourself unless you know how to do it; if so definitely not with brillo pad! There are better options for that......Bergeon sells some sanding blocks that are good for that (I have coarse, medium and light blocks from them and works like a charm)

Same here. Can't wait to see who is recommended to handle this task.

Any reason you don't want to ship it out?

I would send it to ABC in LA - it'll probably be back within a week / 10 days (as per my experiences) They're pros.

B on Time on 47st. They are great, and at reasonable price.
Give them a call!

I'd ask the AD if his jeweler (not the watchmaker) would like to make a little extra $$$ on the side...
