Hey everyone. Quick bit of advice required.
My wheel nuts are looking brown and rusty. Is there any cleaning .product/ chemical that can restore them back to norm. Or is painting them the only option.

I would just replace them you can get a full set of new shiny ones off ebay for pennies. Mine were looking shabby and 4 of them snapped when loosening them think they must go brittle my advise would be to change them.
