Just think about how much wear and scratches a lot of cranks gets from normal use or cables rubbing on frames when people don't pay attention for example. Just use a fine sandpaper and take some time with it.
However you still got the problem that you're 99,9% sure to void any warranty. Luckily the Next SL cranks look awesome with decals too though if you ask me haha, much nicer than XX1. Did you get regular ones with white decals or stealth black?
Got the white (light grey really) version, because I bought it from a guy (it's used just twice though, so it's really as good as new). I agree that the Next SL logo looks waaay better than the XX1 livery though. Also, I think I actually like the white RF livery better than the black ones, as I actually think the white outline on the black ones makes it less subtle than the all white logo.
