Anybody know a good local polisher

Anybody got a lead on a good local (Atlanta) polisher? I've got to get a pair of aluminum heads polished (on the outside). Best Metal Polishers in Lilburn did the intake and water pump and did an excellent job. Unfortunately, Marcelino is closing his shop on Thursday and Friday. The porting won't be done until Tuesday morning, so they won't have enough to get them polished before they close. I'll lose a week on the build if I can't locate another local polisher who can complete the job by the end of the week. Hep me! Hep me! I've developed a case of Snakelessepidermal Gutlesstruckanoma. It isn't pretty and it itches.

Tony, aluminum is pretty easy to polish up. I would buy a buffing wheel and do it myself and after you are done, you have extra $$ for polished stuff and a "free" grinding/polishing wheel when done.

Tony Ditto to what TC says. I have done a few pieces with great results. It is a two or three step process with the right compound and really kinda fun as you see the shine develope.

Thanks guys, but I'll leave this to the pros. I just don't want to collect all the tools and materials for this one-shot deal. I really want to have them done by the end of the week so I can get them back to Bill. I'm also way too lazy to dive into the project. Marcellino does great work and will make those babies shine for $100 / head. I'm in the process of Zoop sealing the intake and water pump as we speak, and that sucks enough.
