    I did take them off and used acetone then rubbing alcohol on them to clean them, and then used duplicolor gloss clear (three-four coats). They're currently drying (I'll give them two days) and then I'll try to buff the light orange peel off of them.

    Many steps to go through but the final result is impressive.
