How should I clean the bolt?

Does this bolt improve shifting performance?

Troubleshooting
T-Type bolt does not fit T-Type derailleur
Verify that you have a compatible T-Type derailleur. The Hope Transmission Thru Axle Bolt is not compatible with GX derailleurs.
UDH retention bolt does not secure hanger
Ensure you are using a compatible UDH hanger and that it is correctly seated in the frame before tightening the retention bolt. Check that the bolt threads are clean and not damaged.
Difficulty threading bolt into frame
Clean the frame's threads and inspect the bolt threads for any debris or damage. If the frame threads are damaged, professional repair may be necessary.
Anodized finish appears worn
This is typically cosmetic wear from normal use. For cleaning, use a mild degreaser and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
