I believe the "micropolish" technique this guy uses is an immersion/agitation 
in graded compounds. It makes the aluminum alloy look nice. I do not know if he 
drills out the old worn out cast-in-place shaft bushings (I am talking about 
the H series carbs here) and puts in new shaft bushings, this is the most 
important part of the rebuild  IMHO. It is the hardest to do and requires 
specialized tools. I have been in Joe Curto's shop and have seen his work and 
bought tools from him and he has done first rate work for me. I suggest you ask 
the paltech guy about the shaft bushings and how he handles this. If he says he 
just changes the shafts and does not drill out the bushes then you should go 
elsewhere no matter how pretty the carbs look.
