    It's easy enough to DIY . Madness to pay someone to do it for you You just need to work down through the grades .
    Welding on the other hand is pretty skilled on ali .Depends what you need doing ?? Go or Show ??

    i had a small kit once, used it to polish up some bits and bobs, but they weren't in bad shape, just needed to pop again..

    i then thought about doing a set of wheels, sanded back the center caps first and then when at a fine grade used the kit.. waste of time

    theres polishing a gt turning gearknob and then theres refurbing wheels, you'll need to upgrade your tools, materials and products as its a job for propper gear..

    i have some willy wheels i was polishing but i can't find anyone on google, i think they can make such a killing powerdercoating that no one will graft for you..

    I can ally weld and pretty much any other welding you can think of but is it worth with the postage there and back?
