tbh its not not that hard to do and if he is staring his own business i would not be using an angle grinder!

its easy if you get a car that looks crap cos anyone could make that look better!

using cutting compound and a MOP head it cuts through the paint and basically takes a very fine layer off the top and brings it up like new!

I've got a machine polisher so if I got some cutting compound would I be able to do it myself? What is the cutting compound called?
