Restoring stainless trim is fairly easy. Visit this site www.eastwoodcompany.com they have all the supplies you need to do this. I did my own trim with stuff I bought from them, an old electric motor, and stuff i found at, of all places, the local hardware store! Careful though its easy to lose a piece of trim with the buffing wheel spinning at 2000-3600 rpm. (learned that the hard way!..hang on to it that is all you need to know!). If you wanna go the shop route, wait til summer and ask a bunch of people at the local car shows to find where they had their stuff done.

I have used Jims Auto Trim.
although their website shows Chevys they do
excellant work. They made the badly dented
windshield trim for my 70 Challenger look like new.

website is http://www.jimsautotrim.com/

Eastwood has stuff for stainless trim dent removal as well as polishing, if you want to tackle the project yourself. I think they even have a book on how its done.
