Autosol Plastic Cleaner Emulsion

Materials Used:

Instructions and Application :

  1. Take the tube of Autosol Plastic Cleaner Emulsion and squeeze eight dots of polish about 1/2 the size of a dime around the perimeter of the hubcap spokes.
  2. With a damp sponge wipe the polish evenly over the entire hubcap in a small circular pattern.
  3. Pay close attention to where scratches are and use light pressure to polish them out.
  4. Wipe off any excess polish left with a microfiber cloth, turn cloth over and buff to desired sheen.
  5. Note: This hubcap had some of the finish chipped off where it hit a curb. Autosol can not help with that, but it did take out the light to medium scratches and blemishes found on the hub cap. I am sure you can see in the before and after photos that there is quite an improvement. This is a hard to find Autosol product that will keep your plastic hubcaps looking sharp.
Polish Guy Tip Polish Guy Tip : “Autosol Plastic Cleaner Emulsion has a silicone free formula that restores color and luster to a cars dash, interior or exterior plastic trim. Its anti-static formulation repels dust and dirt.
