Small update. We picked up some wheel center caps for the factory 14" wheels.

Naturally I had to clean them. I started with polishing the metal. Quick wipe with IPA and then a hand polish with Nuvite "C" and "S." Here is a little before and after.

Then I moved on to the roundels. Started with a hand compound. Before.

After compound, before a hand polish with Sonax.

And the finished product after one last IPA wipe down and sealed with Jescar Powerlock. I could have sanded them and machined polished to get a little better finish but I think this is good enough.
