absolutely

I can't believe you, happy to whip out an engine but scared of a DA buffer

Man, it's not that bad you will be using a Dual Action buffer which is a pretty safe tool. To give you an idea you will be removing damaged paint which will make up around 2% overall, just read the original post. If you are not comfortable with the tool start off on the Merc until you get the feel for it.

Excellent, send loads of money and TM and I will do it for you !!!!

I used Tango Man's services this weekend to prep my motor. What a fine job too. 'Loads of money' is V. subjective, IMO what I paid was worth every penny to achieve the finish I have - without swirl marks.

Thanks once again TM!
