Absolutely.

If I didn't have a full time job, I would consider doing it myself. I'm all about that. However the word "polish" may sound a little deceiving. A raw cast piece needs to be ground in spots, sanded, and then buffed. It's a time consuming process that is really an art form in itself, which is why even $45 sounds inexpensive.
