I am refinishing another 66 Kodiak and am ready to put the Bear coin back in.I would like to brighten it up some.
What is used to polish it?

Thanks for the help,
David

Hi David
Is that an aluminum one?
I use a variety of polishes, Mothers etc whatever might be around or cheap...

A lot of people hit them with a black marker and only polish the high spots, kind of a cheater patina

Just make sure to clean any polish off the bottom before epoxying/hot gluing in place

1966 has the more modern brass coin; like Kurt says any polish or car wax will do you proud.  

Is there a way to renew the color on the brass ones? I have one that has lost the color from wear.

I just used some baking soda from the fridge and a little water and the coin came out great.It took about 5-min.

Thanks for the ideas

I put them in Vineger, acid shines them up nicely.

Are the brass coins solid brass ?  Or are they plated & do you need to be concerned about easily rubbing thru the plating ?

The one I'm talking about is plated and the plating has rubbed off. I was looking for a way to repair the plating.

Those are plastic KSB
You can use Krylon spray paint for plastic.

Is it a 1966 or a 1976
