    Yellowed centre cap on alloys

     I would like to improve the yellowing on the centre caps as it really lets the alloys down, doesn't look that bad in the photos - worse in person. Is this common? Have tried resin waxing them but does not seem to get any better. (First go at posting photo btw ... didn't use the tree button as didn't seem to work so just pasted link below)
