Then maybe a bit of light metal polish to clean up any remaining oxidation

Also, the "nubs" pop out pretty easy from all I've read and aren't easily damaged or broken
Thank you again. Will definitely put this on my list of to-do's for the car.
Was just wary about if I had to sand it, but then I knew that would damage the aluminum.

Thanks again for all your help! still loving my AEs, i get all whenever I walk away from the car and see (Angel) Eyes!
