CYCLO POLISHERS

ATHENS AIR 
POLISHING SERVICE

Tennessee Swifter Dan Payne says... "A friend of ours, Jim "Jimbo" Lemons, who works out of the Athens airport is one of the world's best polishers. And I do not exaggerate. I am sure you have probably heard of Jim, as his polish jobs have won airplanes the "Best Polish" award time and time again. In fact he polished the Swift Charlie Nelson won best polish with at Nationals 2004 just recently. I know there are Swifters out there looking for someone to polish their airplanes, and I wouldn't lie to anyone this guy is the best. PERIOD.  His contact information is....
