first hit them up with some aircraft paint remover. blast them off with the hose. dry them. do them again with the paint remover if you need to. sand in a few stages of grit, then polish the hell out of it with some good metal polish. good times

Time, Arms, Energy, Metal Polish, Sanding, Buffing, Common Sense, ETC.
