Just wondering about my mags.

When we wash them and just spray on that McGuires(sp?) wheel polish stuff.. They come up really shiny but in spots have little .. blemishes I suppose you could call them.

Where can you get your mags cleaned... IF you can clean them with something to make them look like new. Haven't tried polishing them yet with a rub on polish ... I will do it one day.

But yeah.. Are there any places that "rejuvenate" mags to make them look like new??

Here is a pic of them. You can see the marks in the picture...

i aint sure is this will help much, but when i have found to work the best, is ya know those cloth nappies, those nice white ones???

i wet those, and use a bit of the soap stuff you wash car with.. give them a real good wash.. then use that polish wheel stuff...

what it might be, is where you have sprayed on tire blackener or armor all its hit the wheel.. so you use the rag with a hand to protect the wheel from getting sprayed when you sprya tires.

Its kinda hard to tell from the pic what kinda finish they are. Are they painted and clear coated or are they polished alloy ?

If they are polished alloy use a metal cut'n'polish type cream to clean them.

Or if they are painted and clear coated what may have happened is the clear coat has slightly peeled/cracked and let air in and oxidization has caused the blemishes, it will be kinda noticable cos the blemish will be under the clear coat and no amount of washing will get rid of it. You could cut and polish it till the clear coat is removed, but if this is what happened its better to take it to a mag specialist to fix it.

You should have mag repairers round your area somewhere.

    • Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, much easier to work with it now it's free!  
    • I _think_ that one has a christmas tree or some other retainer spike into a hole in that panel under it. Come in under it with thin scredrivers and just pry it gently up. If you rip the ears off the retainer pin....so what? Just stick it back down after with a bit of race tape and carry on with life.
