You can also do it without having to remove the oil cooler

I ended up masking off the adjacent areas. Started with 0000 fine steel wool to remove some of the hazing. I don't think its strong enough to remove the haze, but wanted to start with a smooth surface, so I'm going to wet sand with 1000 and work my way up. Weather hasn't been great this week, so I'm hoping tomorrow I can finish the job bright and early.
