I always felt that the difference beween an act and a "class act", was the attention to the small details like you have pointed out.
Of course this holds true for just about everything a person does.

Chic Silber said...: Good chrome (triple plated) is not

cheap or easy (& gets harder to

have done all the time) & cheap

chrome doesn't last very long

Stainless steel is another option

but it can't be highly polished; 12 July, 2010 11:44

Look for another supplier of stainless. Some of the finishes are referred to as mirror finishes and the in fact they are.
The manufacturer I used to work for had a lot of precision machine parts that were mirror finish.
