I was cleaning my car recently and was disappointed to see that the wheel centre caps had started to "corrode" - I'd only bought them about 6 months ago. I ordered a new set from ebay and when I was changing them over I noticed that there was a protective clear film on them, which I had omitted to remove originally - silly me! I think that the clear film was retaining some water and causing premature corrosion. Anyway, new ones now fitted (with protective film removed).

A bit of Autosol may bring your "corroded " ones back

Must be thick as I don't understand Killerhertz comment. I read it as he has bought a new set & fitted them. So he has an old "corroded" set

You are correct.
 
I once watched ten minutes of a Pirates of the Caribbean film in Japanese before I twigged that the natives weren't speaking in their own language.:oops:
