Yes. Brasso and very fine steel wool.

Nail varnish remover might work...

Abrasives will remove the satin finish, and while you could recreate it, it'd be a bugger. If you go the abrasive route you'll have to polish the whole hub.

just get some ultra fine steel wool. It will be fine ffs

thanks for the input, acetone (nail polish remover) didn't work. will possibly try very fine wire wool...

try the Brasso first though... might seem odd, but works well on other similar stuff.

I use a brillo pad, comes off easily and doesn't scratch anything either

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
