			Paint stripper and a brush, followed by oven cleaner and a brush. That is if it's not terminally tarnished.

			I have done about 50 cases like this one and they all turn out very nice. They don't finger print and oil wipes right off. Might be a bit different than Oem new but customers always appreciate them.

			 No, it is a good solvent bath, then hot water washer, then a high quality fine glass bead in a Clemco blaster and finally a airless steel shot tumbler. I have ran them through the ceramic scrubber after the shot peen but the difference is minimal for the extra process and labor cost.
