Well I just bought a set of the rotary accents from a member of the board and they have some minor nicks from road debris. Im wondering if I could be able to sand them down to make them smooth again or is there something else I could do?? I do realize that they will get the nicks back again after I drive with them for a while but I just dont want to put them on in the condition they are in. Btw they are the OEM accents. thanks for the help

A fellow member, altspace, polished out the front accent to be nice and shiny (like this, but that photo is not even final result). It was completely pitted before. I just asked him to post some notes on what he did.

thanks astral. thats what mine looks like. i polished it with the english customs polish and it made it nicer but the pits and nicks are bothering me. if anything i'll just get new ones.

Yea, it was in very rough shape. I used a wire wheel dril bit to grind it down. This of course removes the chrome plating. Then I believe I used 800 grit then 1000 grit wet sanding. Finished it off with a polishing wheel and a ton of hand power to smooth it out with metal polish. Took about 2-3 hours to complete, but the end result is very nice.
