Default Question

I have a set of 4 c2 wheel covers that came off my ‘66. Sold the car long ago, forgot about wheel covers, discovered them in my barn. I will sell them...my question is, should I clean, polish them or leave them be? I mean I’ll wash them and get the dust and dirt dauber mess off them before I post pictures. Just wondering if I should put a lot of elbow grease in them before I list them.

Thanks,

Pam

I wouldn’t make a big project out of it but I would polish them just to get the oxidation off of them. There are some easy to use one step polish out there that’s cheap and easy to use. Check the motorcycle shops.

I always get a few more bucks for cleaned parts.
