Shiny Hoses

[Kirk McHugh]

I own a 1967 convertible automatic with A/C, power steering and power brakes. The car is a nice driver. I am currently restoring all of the hoses.

What product do you guys use to make all of the hoses shine?

Thanks.

Personally?

None. Shiny hoses are for used car lots trying to hide something with the rest of the car.

Seriously, other than some occasional soap and water to clean them, that's it. The shiny look isn't "in" anymore.

Didn't realize that, but it certainly is good to know! Thanks.

If the hoses are old, but useable, use 303 Aerospace Protectant to clean and protect them, leaving a natural look. This product will also provide UV protection, but that is less of an issue under the hood.
