I'm fairly sure jbodyperformance does it... Either way, I say do it yourself. It's really not difficult at all and you will save some cash that's for sure. Or you can get it powdercoated like some people......

go to Autozone, pick up some metal polish. go to the grocerie store and pick up some scotchbrite pads.

start with the scotchbrite untill it all looks like brushed metal, then use the metal polish.

if you REALLY want to spend some money, buy a dremel and some polishing bits and use those

I grabbed one out of a junk yard 10 bucks and polised it, came out great. And was super cheap, doesnt get any better then that.

it's not worth $200+ for the one from JBP, except for that it's modified for the Crane rockers, which you can also do yourself.

You have to call Chuck (PaCustomCoatings). That is the best way to get ahold of him. His phone number is on his website. I just spoke with him the other day. As as matter of fact, I am going up to his place (he is only about 40-45 minutes from me) on Saturday so he can give me a hand with my ECOTEC cover.

If its not already polished, then probably not. Once you get it polished up, then probably will work to keep it shiny. I don't have one of these, but from what I read on Mother's website, it seems intended to just maintain a polish, not actually put a polish on raw, unfinished metal like our rocker covers. Gonna need time, sandpaper (for the really rough raised casting marks), scotchbrite as mentioned above, and some metal polish. Dremel would be good too, as mentioned above. Once you get a good shine on it, a couple coats of a high-temp clear paint would go a long way in keeping the shine longer lasting.

you can get a buffing pad for your drill and with some various grits of sandpaper have your own polished cover in about and hour or two and for about 10$ cost.
