In my opinion, the best way to get it looking that good is to take it to a professional. Last summer for a car show I spent all night (9pm - 6am) getting my car ready. I used the "best" products, as recomended by our friends here at Mustangworks, and it still didn't look as good as those that had been taken to a shop. It costs around $100 here (West Texas), but the quality is much better than than I could ever accomplish especially around the engine.
Good luck with the S-V-O, hope everything works out.
