Hi all,

You should be able to do it your self, all you need is a buffing wheel and polishing compound and patience. Just dont press to hard. You could use brasso and a soft cloth, but it would take a while.

Its a good reason to get the equipment, and then it will be there for the next job, no need to keep paying some one...

(And it will get you out of the house)   o:) o:)

Many thanks Dave,
With health issues I have at the moment that Spanish fella, "Manual Labor", isn't on the menu.
But in saying that I have used Autosol many times and have found it to be a great product.
