I dont think you had an attempted wheel cap theft, it is more likely that whoever removed your wheels last did this. When my car was delivered from Porsche, I took pictures. The wheel bolts are not delivered with scratches as shown in your photos. In fact, both the caps and the bolts are delivered from factory without damage. I also have scratched up bolts. They were done by my detailer when my wheels were removed for ceramic coating. His shop was a little more gentle on the center gaps than yours but I can also see where they pried them off.

Annoying to say the least but kudos on posting about your detail. I did a maintenance wash on my car today too!

The bolts have been reused from my 20” aero turbo’s they had marks, the Spyders came with the caps and are only 2 weeks old. This happened after Porsche mounted the Spyders.

Ok cool. How often do you clean your car? I do maintenance once a week. I find the process very enjoyable although I think there is a point where you can drive yourself crazy with this stuff.

I try once a week, I do the inside once a month. Once a year a touch up polish. 2x a year full strip and wax.

Do you happen to have a part number for those center caps? I failed to steal yours so I guess I have to buy a set. I'm only finding the ones with the chrome ring around. I need a set like yours with black ring.

Thx

Big detail for me yesterday too.
My car valet guy did a lovely job.
Another advantage of Race Tex is the lovely stripes!
