Cleaned them really well, spraying and scrubbing over and over.
Then I used a sponge brush (small) to glob the stuff on. Did some touch up with q tips, the stir stick, or a craft brush.
The only thing I took off was the wire clip. Touched up the paint after I put it back on.

Easy cheesy! I almost want to do the front now to match!, but my JCW logo is fading, and I can't use It for touch ups bc it's a diff red.
