I have been putting my car through a " deep clean " today as i took the afternoon off work. :happy2:
I noticed that the hubs are covered with rust, whats the best way of restoring this back to silver i would prefer an OEM look so no fancy colours lol.
Any advice as always greatly appreciated.

i had same problem after getting cleaning solution on them.
hammerite silver paint does the job :wink:

Best way I'd say would be to take the wheels off and use some wet n dry paper starting with the rougher stuff then a higher grit to buff it up. Then find a rattle can that best matches and respray them up if needs be. It may be that the rust is only a thin layer of oxidation and they come up alright with a bit of elbow grease
