I meant what are they made of. If they are stainless steel you can polish them by hand (using Mothers or Blue Magic). If they are not you can either have them chromed or get replacement bolts stainless bolts in the same size and polish them. I would do the latter if I were you, chrome can rust over time.

^Probably not that hard.
SS isn't too hard to brush.

I would have posted a pic of my new GTSpec FSB, but I couldn't loosen the bolts to my struts. Bent my socket extension on my ratchet as well. FML.
