Default Center Lock Wheel Nut - Restore Fading
I'm not sure what happened but most likely from very acidic and overly harsh wheel cleaner, the center lock nuts have faded and look dull. Is there a way to restore them using detailing products and techniques?

Depending how bad they are, get some S100 paste wax and rub some on it and it should be shiny again.


If it’s too the point where the acid has taken off the anodizing, it’s unrecoverable and needs anodized again

You're absolutely right because if I didn't take a foreign language, I wouldn't have graduated high school. Also took it in college. Believe it or not, there is a whole world outside of America. And outside of Stuttgart, too, but feel free to have that as your identity. smh
