Very disappointing

I was very disappointed with this book, which ended up being a waste of money.
The book should have been entitled - "How to restore bright trim" on 1950's American vehicles.

I was expecting a book on how to restore all automotive trim - seats, door panels, carpets etc.

The book contains lots of photographs of gleaming restored brightwork.
excellent
