where to get a tmic polished professionally?

You can do the bar yourself. Just "stroke" it with Mother Metal polish and a rag. Will take like 2 min. For OEM TMIC, I am not sure how it will look with polished end tanks and regular core, but you can also try yourself using rotary tool with same mothers metal polish.
