Thats nice,,, good idea,,, wish I knew about this 12 years ago when I had my chrome stocks,, cwm2
chrome stocks with regular caps
10
did a search.. didnt find any definate answers.. just questions
so ill answer..i got some chrome stock wheels with no caps..
i did have regular caps though.. noticed the metal cover over them..
i removed the cover. cleaned the grime off with soap & water..
then polished the staines with chome polish.. took alil elbow grease
but it came out ok.. not a show piece but better than nothing.. you may
have to put tape around the clips so it wont be loose. here are some pics
started with this

that's awesome! Now i'm on the hunt for some stock center caps
MrBbody,
need a little advice....
i tried your method and used a kitchen sink sponge, the yellow/green kind and scratched my center cap.....pics to follow.
is it possible to buff/sand them out ?
i started with rag and water then went to Mr. clean magic eraser, then nylon scrub brush but the dirt would not come off....cwm3
the green side of sponge was only thing that made a dent.
you think i can fix this by hand or do i need to break out the dremel with buff pad and the "green" compound ???
I don't wanna fubar the other 3...cwm5
