I've been using a product called zoop on the polished areas. But you can repaint with clear coat.

I wanted to clean them, but changed my mind, it just wasn't worth it fighting the clear coat and all. This would only be done in a complete major restore,.... IMO.

A palm sized orbital with a green scotch brite pad & a spray bottle of water made my clean up job sooo much easier,,
Some clear acrylic spray from Lowes & Whoopeee, it sure looks a lot better,, it downrite pretty again. The labor time would have been cut in half had I started with this approach instead of sanding by hand,,
Works great on the fin edges too, if you have the black jug,,
