a good polish will do it if they're not too bad.

I use autoglym stuff on mine and works a treat.

If they're a mess, maybe some more hardcore polishing will do it, but if theyre that bad, I think Id rather replace them.

relax..here i am with a cheap fix for your dilema...all you do is coat the affected area with araldite...then rub down with 600grade wet and dry....gets the glue off the forks but it remains in the pitted area...and doesnt rip your seals...cant be bad!!
