Need polishing in Jacksonville Fl

Can anyone recommend someone to polish an airstream in Jacksonville Fl?
I am the proud owner of a 1979 24 ft Excella Motorhome. Don't think it's ever been polished. I've read the forums, instructions, etc, and I think it's a bigger job than I can tackle. I also know its quite pricey, and perhaps too pricey for me right now. But I'd love for her to look as beautiful as possible. Thanks.

Did you ever find anyone? We live in Tallahassee and are looking for someone as well.

I recently visited the dealer in Alachua, Fl., J.D. Sanders, they either have someone or know someone whom does this. They showed me a just polished unit and it looked new.

I never did find someone locally. J. D. Sanders will recommend a third party for polishing, but they do not do it in their company. And it's very expensive.
We ordered the polishing kit from Jestco products and did a small test area. I think it will be easy enough! They have instructions and youtube videos on how to do this, and say it can be done in 40 hours. We also ordered the clear coat remover from Vintage Trailer Supply. That stuff is amazing! You should get that and try it. You'll be amazed by how quickly and thoroughly that works. Good luck with your endeavors.
