I recently bought a set of front and rear Spoon upper strut bars from a guy on CL, and it the rear one look like it was used to beat a curb with. The front one is in ok condition, just needs cleaned up a bit. The previous owner said he bought them like this but didn't do anything to fix the rear because you couldn't really see it.
Anyway, what I need to know is how to get rid of the "curb rash" on the bars, since they are steel and not aluminum I don't know if they can be sanded down or not. Surprisingly there's not much to be found on the internet about how to do this. And after the bar is repaired, can it be polished or does it have to be re-chromed?
Here are pics of the rear bar. Sorry my camera wouldn't focus in on the damage since it was so close.
