Just like in the link in the thread .

Hair dryer and dental floss or fishing string to get the reflectors off.
WD-40 or goo gone to get the residue off.
Then wax it real good.

Then test drive it.

Just a fair warning, Goo Gone has abrasives in it. So if you use Goo Gone, go slowly and be careful. And like said above, wax afterwards. Gonna look good.
