Title: Anyone have a buffing wheel?
Post by: Marty on November 02, 2015, 07:57:49 PM: I picked up an acrylic tank that has some scratches, and I'd like to try my hand at buffing them out. If anyone has a small buffer that I can borrow, please get in touch.

Just do what they do in the video. If it turns out good for them it will for you... It's not like you're talking about going off the top rope, like Superfly Snuka, during a homemade pron video.
