    What procedure would you use for reusing wheels and axles that have been setting for a couple years.

    Got the black ice polishing kit and followed the steps in the video for the wheels and got the axles from you prepped for graphite

    I would clean the wheels and redo the final step and clean the axles and respray them.

    Make sure your polish hasn't gone bad.
