I had a local hot rod place polish mine. Seen on ebay awhile back where you send them your core in exchange for a polished or powder coated one.

Unless you live in the far out boonies any reputable metal polishing place can do it. It also does not have to be a z shop since all they do is outsource the polishing to another specialized metal polishing place. Heck I've even seen members here diy with great results. Just google metal "polishing near me." See what comes up, check reviews, call them, see what they do for you. If too far ship it to a reputable polishing place. It was only $100 to polish mine.

I googled it, only about 2 places came up surprisingly. But I will give it a try and call them. I just figured they would charge me an arm and leg if they havn't done them before saying its a big job etc.. But I will give it a shot.

I thought about doing this when I had my timing cover off. I searched for Vapor blasting near me. Ended up wanting to put the car back together and not have to wait for it to be polished.
But vapor blasting could be a lead
