What works best to make them look pretty ?

I scrubbed mine down with some Simple Green and very fine steel wool. After drying I painted with some Grey VHT, don't know how long it will last but it looks nice now.

I use a wire wheel on an electric buffer.....gets all the nasties off.....

I used wd40 and steel wool and rubber gloves and a bunch of clean paper towels. They cam clean pretty fast - not as big a task as I expected. Jim

I've heard it is not a good idea to use steel wool on stainless as it can make your stainless rust.

Just what I heard....for what it's worth.

I find that scrubbing or polishing by hand makes my fingers lock in funny positions....

good old fashioned brake cleaner did the job

Those were the nicest looking used SS HE's I've ever seen.

Pics, let's see the finished product Greg.

Sorry if thi has been double posted. I've had my SSI's since '75. Every 2 or 3 years I clean them (off the car) with SOS, followed by a serious treatment with Simichrome. Leaves them nearly chrome-looking. Have won 2 PCA Parade concours (full) and 32 others with these & w/o a gig for them.
Simichrome leaves them easy to maintain with water & Ivory liquid - on the car.
My 2 cents

They're on the car already. They looked as close to new as it gets.

HUGE props to Gint
