First off, I'd recommend removing it from the car for ease of working with it.
I screw them down to my wooden workbench, but you could easily tape it off & do it on the car. As long as you don't get excess remover anywhere else.
Nail polish remover to remove the leftover pink lettering.
600, 1500, 2000grit wet-sand
Polish with some type of plastic polish
Yes, I've done this a couple times myself. (See feedback.)
I'd highly recommend using some type of d/a or orbitla buffer when polishing back to save your arm. It can be a lot of work.

My car came with a spare stocker since the previous owner put on a 30th Anny white on eon there, that's starting to fade, so maybe I'll do this to the red guy and see how it looks. Good write up!
