I used a white Scotch brite pad with Mothers on it. Then a cone shaped buffing pad from Harbor Freight in a electric drill, again with mothers.

Back in the day, when I was young and carefree........or crazy............or dumb. I jacked up the scram, put it in 4WD, put it in gear, let the tires spin, and took the white scotch brite and mothers to them. worked great, just a little dicey
