Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The wheel hats under my sport club wheels have rusted up. I don't have a floor jack so looking for an easy way to clean them. Any tips short of full masking and repainting that would take forever one wheel jack at a time? Anybody ever try a Navel Jelly product?

Paint them. See the link below. There are better pics at the bottom of the first page and progressive DIY pics on the second page. Easy DIY that improves the looks dramatically. Make SURE you cover the entire car with a drop cloth before you spray the hats or the overspray will settle on the car. Don't ask me how I know! Painting Top Hats

I had a spot of rust which I removed with steel wool.

Wire brush on a drill, prime and paint. Or just start with new rotors and paint them before you install.

POST 5Original post

you can brush on caliper paint and avoid the overspray problem.
