I stripped the clearcoat with an acid based "reducer" from Sherman Williams (US-15 or US-4, can't remember), a wood-handled "toothbrush", a FREQUENTLY turned clean t-shirt/rag, and just a tad of elbow-grease. The acetone did most of the work. Then I started with 320 grit sandpaper, switched to #00 steel wool, to #0000 steel wool, Turtle Wax Polishing compound, then the "green" polish from Les Schwab Tires. I taped off the outer, painted the centers, then re-polished the outer with the green. My outers look like chrome, and the painted centers (to match body color) REALLY stand out! Like they always say: if you want something done right, do it yourself!!
