Eh, I didn't really want to do that. I'm trying to perserve the paint as much as possible.

Another thing I was thinking about. Thing is, I don't have a buffer and I'm not going to ask my stepfather to buy one for this one project.

It came off a little with me applying a couple coats of cleaner wax but it still doesn't have the feel it used to.
