I would look at the latest Hemmings and see who's in there. Over the weekend I'm sure some of guys will advise 'ya.

The Finishing Touch in Chicago.

A+++ work, but not cheap.

^^ what he said, Finishing Touch, show quality and expensive (I've been there, seen their stuff but did not use them - expensive). If all you need is polishing, its a fun thing to do yourself - at least I enjoy it.

Same here Steven- Went to HF bought a buffer and got some pads from Eastwood. Even used the rouge from HF. Experimented with the S/S trim and figured it out. Buffed all of it. Came out great. Even mastered the sanding different grits of paper to remove scratches. Yes enjoyable.

By not cheap, what or how do they charge? Always hear it is very exspensive to have done. I know it's labor intense. By the hour or piece?
Thanks!

I use Bob Mayles Stainles Trim Restoration http://www.stainlessresto.com/

He has done the last three cars I have done and the stuff comes out nice. He charges by the foot and the size of the piece (width) determines the price. I want to say $10-$13 a foot.
