Rays lug nuts stain
Guys Ive got stains on my Rays lug nuts. They are the duraluminum type. It looks like water stains or might be what they call oxidation. No matter what I do they wont come off. Ive tried wax....water/vinegar solution....still nothing. Anyone have success on this type of problem?

pics? Not much you can do without damaging the anodized coat. Try a scouring pad or light sanding?
