Someone posted a tutorial here a few months back. Cannot seem to find it now.
Perhaps someone can remember more than myself.

Here’s a link to a consolidation of posts and tutorials concerning do-it-yourself cleaning.

From the OP it sounds like you’re possibly looking to hire someone to clean them for you.

Joe,
Welcome to AAPK.
I think Kaleb (Muskrat Man) will treat you fair and do a good job. I am not sure what your expectations are on pitted blades, normally that's something that you can't do much about except replace the blades.
I have no doubt that Kaleb will take good care of you. You can contact him through his store here on AAPK, or PM him from a post of his.

I have seen some of Gary's work and what I have seen is top notch.
An aside, my wife's folks are from Strange Creek WV.
