Get a good degreaser and degrease everything, then wash clean. Watching anything thats elecy.

Then paint anything you can, polish? Remove said item, paint strip if needs be then start sanding. 180 grit 400, 320, 800 1000 then geta good buffing wheel and start buffing. Either using proper polishing soap or using atuosol.
