Remember that 912/356 caps will NOT fit the 4 lug VW/Mangle wheels. I have 1 new perfect one like this one on the SAMBA -

There are 2 aftermarket sytles. The one above is a mini-nipple cap. There are also 2 versions of the crest. Early (and OEM) ones have STUTTGART in the crest - later TAIWAN ones are just blank there.

Chrome quality is so-so on aftermarket ones - I'd advise getting OEM 914 caps and adding the crest.
My father always used this

(or a previously available version) on the brass hardware that he put on restored cabinets, clocks, even cars. It worked really well. I've used it on the repro hubcaps with great results. It doesn't effect the shine and holds the surface rust a bay. They might even have the spray version at Home Depot.

Maybe . . . ?
