How do I get the factory finish on stainless dog dish hubcaps

I now have a stack of stainless dog dish hubcaps that I want to restore. I have seen some threads on this in the past but am hunting for more information.

I want to know how to get that factory finish back because just polishing them makes them a mirror and not the desired affect. I can handle the paint and straightening but need to know how those that restore the stainless caps get that not quite polished finish.

please post links or advice.

I'm not sure what you're looking for but mine were pretty badly tarnished till I took some S100 Polishing Soap to them. Then I had my signpainter repaint the black and change the yellow to blue.
