If you have some metal polish use that. Cheap & easy.

Mine still look like i just polished them. They need some sort of uv protectant on them like wax or what ever comes in the kit to help keep them from hazing again.

Mine were pretty hazy and yellow. I ended up using toothpaste and then clear coat rubbing compound and the results were fantastic.
