Pain in the butt, perhaps, but it will look great when you're done. Worth the effort if you ask me.
Once you have fresh clear on it, just wax it regularly to keep it looking nice and prolong repeated fogging from exposure to sunlight. If you want to be really careful, a car cover will help there, too. I always kept my Maxima under a cover when I had to park it outside, and it definitely showed in the condition of the paint and chrome.
