I was wondering if you guys have any tips or tricks to get rust off my center cap and lugs nuts! I have centerline combo pros! I was thinking steel wool but I dont know how long before they rust again!

Thanks Jerrod

Never dull.......it comes in a can took alot of rust of mine but one was sooo bad there was no chrome left on it just rust.....so I took some silver paint and painted them all. You cant really tell unless you walk right up and take a good look.
Mine are SST's and actually the center caps look better off colored rather then just a whole bunch of chrome..........
