Yes I removed the clearcoat and polished mine. They scuff back up in about 3 weeks. I suggest leaving them alone. Or replace them with new ones.

I stripped the clearcoat with some scouring pads (fine sandpaper okay too). Hand polished it with some metal polish. It shines like SS should be. Anytime you have more scratches, just polish it again.
