if you wanted to try it yourself you just need some abrasive rolls (sandpaper rolls) and go easy. Don't hit up the area that the blade closes onto, and you'll be fine.

Like a core charge? I'm sure you can work something out with one of the sponsors...

Most of them will charge you the core and on return, refund the core charge.
Maybe some of these sponser will ping in and reply with there information and addresses. I know Smokin87TA has the services..

I would be interested in that. I can't really afford any downtime with my car right now.
