I recommend using Happich SimiChrome polish.
Can be used normally or with a Dreml tools buffing tip for a more brilliant shine.

Why dont you do it yourself
purchase or borrow a buffing motor
along with the 3 different polishing compound
and start with the course one and finnish with the fine .
Its a lot of work to do it right but you will be happy with the results.
and use rubber faced gloves to hold the part while buffing.
After you find out the cost per foot you might consider doing it yourself.

Always polish away from edges. You can make a pretzel out of a nice piece in about 1/10th of a second. Ask me how I know. Farming the work out might not be all that expensive if you risk destroying a rare original part.
