    I personally think it's a waste of money, but a young bloke at my work got his done and it cost $400. He didn't even put sealer on it - if that will help keep it shiny, I don't know but it's gunna fade fast, unless you live in a dry atmosphere!

    You probably want to do it yourself - a very, very fine linishing device, followed by material buff and then polish! I think the hardest part is the physical effort involved!
