how polished do you want it , as they are ally not that hard to polish to a decent standard yourself . unlesh you want it looking like cliffybabes, top notch suppose anywhere between 70 -100, powder coated wil need less care and be cheaper

wet and dry .... go through all the grades and finish at 2000, by this time it should be pretty shinny already... Then some alloy polish and your done. Dont degrease it though or you will be starting again.
