Here's a picture of the Tire Pressure Sensors.



Make sure you keep each TPS where it was originally located on your G.

The outer sleeve threads over the valve stem to hold the inner part of the TPM in place. That's what you want to polish. Maybe you could just loosen one and take it off the wheel without causing a problem. You could polish it and then put it back on. The air pressure inside the tire should keep the TPS from falling out... I think...

Do you have a drill? Do it yourself.

Get a 5 inch buffing pad from Home Depot, Lowes, Ace Hardware, or the auto parts store. A small buffing wheel from Ace Hardware would be better.

Get some 1500 or so grit wet sand paper and sand the nuts smooth.

Use some Blue Magic metal polish, or something similar, and polishi it with the buffing wheel until it's polished.
