speaking of that. i just did mine today, it was a pain in the ***.
ok. so first i glass beaded the entire thing to get all the crap off. (if you cant do that, have fun sanding with 80 grit)
then i used 180 grit all over it, then 280 then 400 then 600.
put a spiral sewn buffing wheel on my angle grinder, and put some black wax on the buffing wheel and pressed dam hard, then i brought out the shine with a muslin non-spiral sewn wheel.
good luck, also remember the top part is steel, it will rust bloody fast keep it dry and warm!!
