Title: Damaged Whitefriars?
Post by: Nick77 on May 01, 2012, 03:11:00 PM

Hi
Another I understand is Whiteriars if so can the damage be polished out, is it worth doing and where/how can I get it done?
Many thanks in advance.

Yes one of Ray Annenbergs swirlys and no not worth the cost of restoration as the price has seriously dropped in the last few months .

That's probably not worth the effort, as too much glass would need removing

You will be able to buy another for around the same cost as GOOD restoration....or even less .
