Well.......I did mine.....it wasn't too bad.....it took me like a total of 5-6 hours, but it's worth it when it's done! You just have to take your time in those tight spaces.....you might even have to make like a sanding block....but....I just kept sanding and sanding...and polishing and polishing.

Yeah it does take a while. BEst thing is to go to any auto body place and get some 500-1000-1500-2000 grit sandpaper. I'd start with like 1000 in ok areas and 500 if its really bad. But I've been polishing for a couple years on bikes and its made my whole life easire wetsanding the piece before the final polish. Just take a garden hose and 1500 or 2000 grit and sand away. it won't look like its doing anything but when you buff it under the wheel agin it will be an masterpiece
