The best way if you want to get a real SHOW Condition is to do it yourself. Because more polish you'll do, more shine you'll get. Here's a site that is going to help you.

You can probably find a place that they will doing the job for you. Here's at quebec city there's a place who asked me 100$ CDN for my original 5.0 intake and 200$ CDN for those d*** turbine wheels. I've polished my wheels with the method of this site and the result is great.

What you need is

A dremel: 100$ CDN (A great tool to buy because you'll gonna need it to apply the compound each year. This is not necessary for general using but for show condition this is better).
Some sand papers: Grid 200,600 and 1200(water)
2-3 polish tube: tripoli and white rouge.
And a bottle of strip remover.

I've seen a lot of mustangs in shows with polished parts and sanding is the key for polishing. But some time sanding is a pain so when it's not your car parts i think that the job is not 100% well done.

If You're like me you'll more appreciate by doing the job yourself.
