    What is this shit?

    Cosmoline? It's on three of the caps on my E34 and I'd like to remove it w/o damaging the paint underneath.

    Suggestions?

    Different shade of paint. Appears that some one used some heavy de-greaser and it ate at the clear on your covers.

    My opinion.

          The paint fades and stains, its because its on a plastic base vs the metal wheel. The only hope is to repaint. Its just like pinkrot on red cars plastic bumpers. Once its pink, you cant bring it back.

            It doesn't "come right off"--I already attempted that to no avail.

            No matter, I realized new caps are like $15. Done.
