I am sending my XD off to Springer Precision for a trigger job and was wondering what about getting the feed ramp polished while it is there.Any ideas ?

Do it. It will greatly help prevent any failure to feed with some hollow points. Springer will do the job professionally.

Certainly can't hurt when done by a pro. All my guns get the ramp polished.

done all of mine on my own.

I have done some on my own too. Flitz and some elbow grease always worked well for me.

If its there can hurt. Do it if you can afford it!!

For an extra $15 you might as well for extra reliability, especially considering what shipping costs you - I did.

I also use Flitz polish and my cordless Dremel..
The Dremel #414 1/2" Felt Wheel is perfect for ramp polishing.
