I was wondering if you guys might post how you restore Genesis Silver thermoset shelves, step by step.
Reason for this post is I was asked "How to", by new member @Steven-MA and I am not knowledgeable enough to answer this question. I thought some of you experienced members like @Cody Bratton, @Bruce and @Steve Hoch could elaborate.
 
I sent him the link to the thread I made.

As recommended by others, I do an overnight soak in a bleach and dawn mixture. Use a scrub daddy (i love those things for cleaning grills) to get any major gunk or buildup off.

As you can see, I decided to go after one of the very worst ones I had. Looks like it was dragged behind a car for a few blocks.

Tools/materials used:
6” dual action orbital sander with a foam backing pad
80, 120, 220, 400 and 600 grit paper.
3” buffer with a “wool” pad.
3M Rubbing compound (I will be checking for a cheaper option, but for this application I wanted to see if it worked before buying something)...

I think the method Cody used is going to be better on really bad tables. What I've done in the past is to soak them in a solution of hot water, bleach, and Dawn dish detergent. I let them soak for a while and scrub them with a green 3M pad, and let them soak some more. This will definitely get them clean, fading is another issue.
