I did a pair back in June. What I did was wash them in gasoline so there was no greasy surfaces..used scoth brite in the gas too. Then using a DA sander I did all smooth surfaces and over top of the grooves. 220 Grit then 320 then 400. Used a Dremel tool with various stones to do around the T Bird logo. Then I sat in a chair in the back yard and wet sanded all surfaces with 320, 400 then 600. I folded the sand paper around Popsickle sticks to do in hard to reach areas. Took one afternoon to do each one. AFter that, used rubbing compound on my buffer, followed by wax. Painted the Logo with paint from Hobby Lobby. ( paint before wax !!) They have a nice match in an outdoor enamel. Car club guys say they look very nice.
