We you did well. I already have a bag of wool steel pads and what man doesn't own a can of WD-40!! I'll post my results when done. Thank you and have a great weekend.
+Alan Marshall Thanks Alan! ya they by all means not perfect but look better than before. lol The backs didn't fair as well, the calcium chloride they filled the back tires with rotted them and the rims pretty bad.
Question for you: I have a vintage 1941 chevrolet hubcap i found in the woods. I don't have steel wool, will sandpaper work to clean my hubcap without damaging the look? Because it has some paint left on the hubcap Thankyou :)
Hey Jonathan, I think the sandpaper might be too abrasive and would do damage, I would wait and get either steel wool with wd40 or those SOS scrubbing pads work very well too. The soap in those makes a great lubricant as you clean.
Perfect, exactly what I need to do, thank you
Glad to help! Thanks for watching
Very well done! I need to polish up my VW beetle hubcups but wasn't sure on the right method. Thank you!
Thanks man! I know everybody has their own way and I found this way worked pretty well lol

Man that's old school! lol Ya it works so I go with it ya know? lol
lol yeah, if i had hubcaps to clean id try it lol
I Polished My holden and Chevy hubcaps
I never thought of us wd40....I'll have to try that out....
+savagenomore Ya it kinda acts like an oil or lubricant and isn't as abrasive. I just kinda stumbled on it when I did the 69 hydro's hub caps.

@@RooneysSears01 Ok thankyou :)
@@RooneysSears01 I used wd-40 and scrubbed with a old chore boy wire brush it cleaned very nice
nice
+Josh Kilen Thanks Josh!
Diamond metal polish and a polishing cone u will b amaxed scratches and all gone
Why bother cleaning it?
A brand new one is only $7
Its as good as a rim thats why if you find 18 in basics why not add bigo hub caps.
Don't clean me lol
The Rusty Hubcap just look at that shiny chrome dome. lol
Looks good. Again with the bad words. The tube is gonna pull the vid for bad language...
Lol! Thanks Keith! I shoulda put a disclaimer in the front I guess huh? lol
