Basically you can wet sand and polish it. If you use a 2 stage wax with a polish sealer it will last outside for quite some time. The trick is not to deform it while polishing. A 1000 or1500 grit would be a good start finishing with a 2000.
If you need new I can help out, but looks salvageable. |

I'll give it a go. I am building a list of the parts I need to order from you so if it goes Pete Tong I can add these to the list |
