depending on how rough the casting process left them ull need to get them evened out first(prob gonna need something pretty coarse to do this). once thats done u can sand them down with like 400 grit then like 1000 grit then move to some steel wool. then u can move to polishing compound and buff it out. thats what i did and it took a while but they look nice. dremel is ur best friend for sure tho. mine r like mirrors now. as far as clearing id search for a heat resistant clear coat. idk how ur gonna make it stick tho... also this takes quite some time as well. i used a wire brush to remove old paint so it took a lil longer on some areas since that left it pretty rough.
the heads are coming to me already bead blasted.. that should help

midwest, i have a REAL GOOD kit i got for my wheels on camaro...i have a drill/buffer pad/ rouge...i'd just mild wetsand them and use that, works awesome.
My buddy has it all now, but I can grab it tonight, let me know when you want to meet up, i'll let ya borrow it.
that rear tire i did in about 15 minutes, after wheels had been sitting outside for about 10 years.
blown transmissions are about as useful as 97% of the guys on this forum
that would RULE!
