Just picked up a set of hubs and bb that are moderately scuffed and dull but no scratches deep enough to catch a nail. Does anyone here have experience in bringing back that lustrous shine to a set of hubs? What were your results and techniques? Mothers, silver polish, toothpaste, aluminum foil?

Mother's mag & aluminum polish is what I use. Dirt cheap too. Skip the BB, nobody's going to see it when nested in a BB shell.

Dremel, buffing kit. Or buffing wheel if you have access to one. For max bling run through a series of compounds.

Right you are. I do plan on reselling it so pictures are in order, so I should probably buff it up a bit.

Car parts store.

use toilet paper or a microfiber towel if you're fancy or it'll just scuff it more. If your elbow doesn't hurt at the end of it then you didn't polish them enough. if your elbow hurts and you're not done with it you can have them polished, fancy stop truck chrome places or places that refurbish silver can do it.

@ianjk Can you point me to a "how to" for job like that? Never done that before but interested in the process.

'process' is just repetition...start with a coarser abrasive, polish, repeat with finer. 2-3 steps should be sufficient.

i'd use automotive 'swirl remover' on a towel first, then a mild metal polish...should be plenty if no major scratches. that's a ti stem after a dose of 'nevr-dull'...
