hub cap

[Gardner Yeaw]

Leroy,
Lots of pits. I've been using greaseless polish with a good stiff
polishing wheel, Then I progress to finer stuff. I doubt the wheels
have been polished since day one.

Aluminum polish made in Germany on my wheels. 17 years ago I used it
to polish my 1946 Globe Swift aircraft using a black light. Anal I
was, I didn't want to see any white spots. I was single with more
money than good sense at the time. It is not cheap, but it works and
fast. If you have pits or scratches you may need to work them over
with wet carbide paper in the 1500 grit variety before polishing.
