I say spray more on there. If you are polishing them whats the big deal? You'll be sanding quite a bit anyways. Try the remover again.

start rough, then graually move to smooth, it takes FOREVER but is well worht it, after the sand paper polish with some carnabu (i think it is called something like that) wax, then look at your face in the rim
