Try Paul's chrome plating. They restore stainless trim as well as chrome. They're not cheap but do nice work

It's been my experience over the years that there are some really talented people out there that do that kind of work. The problem is finding someone that's reliable. They either have a drinking problem, drug problem or both, are out n out ripoffs, society dropouts or just plain flakes. I got a quote on doing my GTS panel from a shop down in SoCal. They wanted a minimum of $1500 up front. That's to just get started. I told the guy he needed drug rehab.
Be carefull on who you choose to do the work.

And now I know why those that do it charge the big bucks! This hits the nail on the head. I'm working on my windshield trim right now, and it's very time consuming, and I really get tired of sanding. You have to start at like 220 and work you way up to 1000 or 1500 before you even move to the buffer. And then when you start getting it shined up, you will see scratches that you didn't get out when sanding. So then its back to sanding some more. I have to do it myself cause I don't have the bucks to pay someone else to do such tedious work.

Pro-tip: Cover it with black magic marker. Scratches you might not see otherwise until polish time will show up during sanding.
