Hey all,

A friend was telling me about a company that was buffing kirby's in the south for a really reasonable price. Does anyone know of a company like this? I was told you send them the parts to be buffed, and then they send them back to you good as new.

Thank you!
Larry

I have heard many great things from other members about O'Dowd's Vacuum in Omaha, Nebraska. I believe the man who buffs the Kirby parts used to restore motorcycles or cars. Not sure if he's still doing it or not.

Thank you for the recommendation; I appreciate it! I did hear they do really great work and someone posted I think a Kirby Dual 80 that they did and it was amazing. Thank you again!

Also for anyone that wants to do this yourself, HooverLux and VacLab both have great videos on how to do it.
