Question:
What does "refurbishing" entail exactly? Will you simply clean it or will you recharge the metals?
Answer:
The metals inside Catalytic converters do not deteriorate over time - they do however become contaminated by exhaust gasses, engine soot and oil blow-by from failed turbos or leaking components. So this service is like an ultrasonic cleaning for the internals of the catalytic converter cones and takes off all the built up gunk, restoring flow. This service is a great way to save cost over a completely new replacement - keep in mind the service does have about a 2 week turn around time.

Question:
I have 2 MINI Coopers S R56, and I would like to send you my 2 catalytic converters to service for better air-flow. Will I still pass smog??
Answer:
The catalytic converter refurbish service is a restoration service, it is NOT a performance upgrade service. This service eliminates the excess backpressure caused by years of buildup and contamination from normal use, or maybe from a failed turbo.

The Catalytic Converter Refurbishment Service will restore flow through your cat back to original OEM specs. The proprietary process restores flow without degrading the cat, removing crucial heavy metals, or damaging the core. This is not an acid flush or chemical baste process.

The manufacturer of our aftermarket turbo requires the catalytic converters on your MINI to be refurbished or replaced, in order to validate their warranty. A dirty cat with backpressure will greatly reduce the life of any new turbo.

Question:
I have the engine light on with the P0420, my car is due in July for the smog test. Can this refurbish service eliminates my problem if yes, how soon can I get it back?
Answer:
P0420: Catalytic converter efficiency below the limit value

Potential problem sources:
 -  Collateral fault stemming from defective oxygen sensor or mixture adaptation fault
 -  Leak in the exhaust system
 -  Catalytic converter defective

To answer your question, the G2NME2890 cat refurbishes service may or may not 'eliminate the problem'.  If the cat is causing the problem and it is in a condition where it can be refurbished, there is a good chance it will.
