Buffing in Southern California/Orange County

We are an exhibit house in Orange, CA. We need to refurbish the brushed aluminum finish on a client's custom exhibit. I don't know if we can do this ourselves or need a professional. We are adding brushed aluminum laminate panels that need to have buff marks to create a pattern on the surface. Can someone direct me? Thank you

You've got a couple of options. Panels indicate to me some board flat areas. If this is the case blending in and creating a uniform surface finish maybe challenging unless you have access to a wide belt sander with a non-woven belt. A good buffer with a hand wheel might do a good job and probably an automobile repair shop guy might do better.
