Sweet82 Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Anyone got any good tricks for polishing/derusting the old Subie Lug Nuts? The Chrome gets stained from rusty places and they are impossible to polish by conventional means. I'm looking for an easy way to restore what chrome is left on these lugs, but this is not something I want to waste much time or effort on. Any Ideas?

Turbone Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 ^^^Do that, then touch up with chrome Testors chrome paint, then put a clear coat on them. But do the touch up after you install them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 find a bolt they will screw onto or a wheel stud cut the head/shoulder off and chuck the stud in your 1/2 cordless drill, screw on acorn. Polishing/rubbing compund on a wet cloth. run drill ---> done --> reverse drill to remove - next acorn works for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
