Got a 996 Turbo with some rather faded calipers.... Any advice on where i can take them to get these back to their shiny best?

Thanks in advance

My last Turbo had the same issue.
I polished them with some quality polish then sprayed with some standard clear lacquer, looked like brand new and a lot cheaper then having them done professionally

Thanks guys. Will try this as it seems cheaper than blowing 250!
