PETROL LIGHTER RESTORATION
Documentation • Discipline • Preservation

Restore the Mechanism. Preserve the Truth.

Collector-grade restoration for vintage petrol lighters. No “AI cleanup.” No geometry edits. No fake patina. Just honest work that respects original intent.

Petrol-focus by default. Zippo is a separate category and handled only if explicitly requested.

Authenticity

We document what’s real. No rewritten history. No “improvements” that erase the evidence.

Mechanics

Serviceable design. Work you can understand, maintain, and preserve long-term.

Finish Discipline

Original geometry stays. Original wear stays. Restoration is preservation, not reinvention.

Process

Clear steps. No surprises.
1. Intake

We establish goals: stabilize, return to function, or preserve as-found. Photos and condition notes first.

2. Documentation

Before/after evidence, parts condition, and what was done. No mystery work.

3. Mechanical Service

Cleaning, alignment, wear inspection, and careful correction. No brute-force shortcuts.

4. Preservation

Finish and markings are protected. We avoid removing original character unless you explicitly request it.
