plastic wheel bolt caps gone white

(1/2) > >>

Ashley g:
A couple of weeks ago I took My car to the local car cleaners (I know it was a bad idea but didn't have access to my own cleaning stuff) Never again! They've used some wheel cleaner spray and now my wheel bolt caps have got white marks all over them! Does anyone know what this is and how to get it off or is it going to be a case of buying new ones?

sub39h:
this happened to mine once

if it's the same as mine it does come off if you scrub hard enough. i spent about 30 mins with an old toothbrush to get them looking ok again

alternatively a new set of caps cost about £7 from a main dealer which is hardly breaking the bank

stealthwolf:
+1. I had this issue too. No idea how caustic the TFR they used was but the plastic covers had white residue all over them. A detailer at the time managed to use a short bristle (ie stiff) brush but in the end I just replaced them.

Happened to men also!
