Polish Wheel center caps and wheel nut caps
I thought there had to be an easy way to clean and polish the wheel caps and nut caps on a trans am. So, I took them off and put them in the dish washer. When finished and dried, I cleaned and polished them with a plastic polish. Came up MAGIC. Hope that helps.

If anyone in my house knew how many parts I've put through the dishwasher over the years, they wouldn't use the plates!

Good tip, often overlooked.
