I'm one of those that has to learn my lesson the hard way. Within reason, I hate paying someone else to do something I think I could do just as well or better myself. That being said, over the years I've learned to ask for help or get help sooner rather then later as I also hate spending double/triple in the end by trying to be cheap in the begining. I hate to say it, but this may be one of those scenerio's where I have to give in and let someone else do it. Unless........................someone has some good suggestions.

edit: without some coaching I would cringe at the thought of using, even a high grit, sandpaper. So, if you think that's my only option to restore the clear then I guess I'd need to give in.
