My poor Fuchs were exposed to the spray of our sprinklers last year . This is what they looked like.





I had tried to do this by hand but I couldn't rub fast enough or hard enough so I resorted to this:



Only took about 25 mins per wheel.





I painted the lug nuts to match the bead blasted ares on the wheel.

3M polishing compound. Any automotive paint store has it

Good one.
