How to restore your vintage fiberglass shell furniture. The right way.
 I have six original Eames shell chairs which I picked up at a garage sale four years ago. Ever since (with much procrastination in between, of course) I have been trying to figure out how to restore the fiberglass which has lost its luster... and let me tell you, there is a lot of bad advice out there on the 'innerwebs' (ahem, AT). So I was very glad to find Chairfag. As of today, this is the one and only post on Chairfag. We hope that there will be more in the future! Because... yeah, I'll admit it... I'm a little bit gay for chairs.
The first half of the article doesn't apply for my chairs though it is educational. The basic shell restoration info towards the end is pure gold. And the best part is: it's easy! Get to work!
