Remove the rubber parts on the insides of the rails. This gives you acces to the bolts. Quite easy to remove and refit really.

To sum up it can be said that the rails are easy to remove and the coating can be removed because the rails are made of sturdy aluminium?! If it is so it should be possible to give the rails a high-gloss polish. Hmmm, I think I have a new project.

Baco-foil works, especially the non stick, it looks like Mat-Chrome
