    Its not that hard to do yourself. Steel wool and a pack of progressively finer sand paper is your friend. Don't wet sand, use oil.








    I only spent like 2 hours on this so I didn't get a mirror finish.

    Well considering this is only 650 grit...

    I can imagine if I had used 1k grit and buffed it at all it would be a mirror finish.
