Removing galvanized layer on spokes

I have a wheel-set that have non SS spokes and i would like to know if there is a diy way in removing the galvanized/cadmium plated later on these spokes.

Although the rust have been removed there is under the magnifying glass still rough spots to be seen that show when i polish them.

Now the easiest way is off course to replace them, but for reasons of authenticity i rather would deal with these the best way i can.

Even now after i polished some of them they are near on par regarding the shine with rvs ones i have in other wheels, but the spots bugs me.

So is there a way to have this layer removed and than polish the steel as is.

I will be used in summer weather for the occasional ride just for fun so no all year around.
