its the same as diy polishing anything else

remove
clean
apply abrasive compound (aka sandpaper) whatever and fuck it up
apply polishing compound and work it in

for tools, you use your hands, arms, maybe a dremel, and some common sense. it's mad work.

oh and google works great too

Too Much Work.
better off powder coating or getting professional polished, IMO.

You could always clean & paint them, and just polish out the NISSAN emblems. They polish out in under an Hour per caliper and look quite nice when finished.
