Just go to an automotive shop and buy the product designed to be a self applied clear. Or order from Amazon. Have had several friends and even family members do this and has worked for a few years. Just give it a go with some sandpaper , a small progression like 800, 1000, 2000 and then polish + clear

Pressed the OEM bushings out and Armstrong ones in at university yesterday
Fitted the compression rods back to the car today.
Went for a quick drive and the improvement is obvious, everything feels tighter. Half of it is the poly and I imagine half of it is simply because the old bushings were torn. The car doesn't wander off as much, less pulling on rough road/changing lanes, direct steering feel. The front end seems a little stiffer - same feeling you'd get running stiffer springs.
All good so far, no noises too which was a major concern.
Alignment is scheduled for this week...
Oh also, you can see there I used pvc pipe when pressing the oem bushings out. They really aren't that difficult to press out once you have a good press but my car is also a FL car so very little rust or corrosion to speak of.
