Re: Hub caps

Those (the Chevy caps above) look great. BTW, I took a shot at polishing a set I had on hand, but none of the compounds I had would touch it, so I presume they were chrome.

I took from my experience that you can't polish out chrome, it needs to be replated. Stainless and other metals you can polish out very nicely.

Does anyone know (a) what years are for sure chrome and (b) how they can be refinished?
