Default Cosmetic Reconditioning of Leaf Springs ?????

Even though my current 73' Camaro project is fully blown apart
the intent was/is to build a high quality "driver"

I'm wanting to do a cosmetic clean up on leaf springs that have
dealer undercoat and/or surface rust here and there.

I'm reluctant to have them sandblasted while still as a 5 leaf assy.

I'm using LARGE aggressive wire cup on 7" grinder and red scotch
brite cookies.

Not sure if I should try to prep sol and epoxy prime/paint or just slather
with LPS#3 (rust inhibitor) or ????

Goal is just to have clean durable good "look" that can be wiped/maintained
occassionally.
