OK, stupid question. As a general rule, hubcaps are usually low maintenance, but is there anything that can be used to polish up them up a little bit? They are made of plastic. The hubs in question look like this:

Re: detailing hubcaps
Ive had hubcaps on my car and I have to say a good coat of NXT 2.0 wont hurt. I did it once and noticed a difference in shine and the ability to be cleaned.

Re: detailing hubcaps
Not too much you can do to shine up plastic like that other than clean all the dirt off of them. A dressing will make it shiny, but not shiny like a shiny metal but more reflective in a way (if that makes any sense to you)
I once put swirls in my paint just to see what it looked like.
I don't always detail cars, but when I do, I prefer Meguiar's.
Remove swirls my friends.Comment

Usually a wheel brush dipped in car wash soap and water works fine.Nick

Re: detailing hubcaps
Shining those up? Something like Plexus would probably work pretty good.
