Wow there are some **** people in this world. Cleaning the inside of screw heads??? Wow!!! If'n I had the time to do that I am sure there are a ton of other things I would be doing besides cleaning screw heads. Hell I don't even polish my chrome. But hey to each their own.

Anyone brings me a bike with 'em. either they remove before hand or I charge extra.

Clean the insides with Never Dull and then brake cleaner and clear laquer = no more rust, or just replace 'em with stainless 12 points.

Hot topper for the ones that stick out and chrome nail polish for the recessed ones.
