I'm VERY close to Guelph-- would love a suggestion!! I tried to send you a message with the picture (just in case you didn't believe me about Bieber) but I can't attach a picture to a message...strange.

Unless you already own a proper rotary polisher. cutting pads fine pads and 1000-1500-2000 grit paper. lol

If I owned a proper rotary polisher, cutting pads, fine pads and grit paper, I probably wouldn't have thought it was a good idea to take a kitchen scratchy to my truck!

lol!
If I "owned" a man, I definitely wouldn't have done this! UGH!!!

Not being a smartass, but since you were so good with a kitchen pad, I'd leave buffing it out to the professionals and chalk the expense up to experience.

If you're that worried about someone taking advantage of you being a female just go with your dad or another male. I know shops rob my sister blind and I always have to go with her now.

That's a good suggestion...my dad has passed away but maybe I could get one of my co-workers to come with me...
