So how do I take care of chrome wheels?

Should I Zaino them?

What should I clean them with?

Guide me oh wise ones...

 

Just make sure you clean them all the time....polish them with metal polish....the brake dust is what kills the finish on them....
oh yeah...that salt you put on your roads will eat up that finish too...so hose it down a lot...

 

I tell my neighbors this all the time:
It's easier to clean a clean car, than a dirty car ! Wash rims often (weekly), if not every other day.

 

Put some sort of protective covering on them, wax or anything to protect from salt. I didn't with my Lexus GS300. All it took was a week of exposure to salt without washing and I had pits in the chrome.

 

You had a GS300??? Nice...

 

Mothers chrome polish works well. So does windex

 

94 before the current one. Can you say S S L L O O W W? ?

 

I'm with 4pumpedCL. Mothers is the best wheel polish! I used many and always come back to Mothers! For our stock wheels I am using some spray Mequiars and it works fine. Good luck!

 

So.....Where's the pictures of those BLING-BLING's installed Soop ???

 

gettin put on tomorrow at 12:30. It's pouring tonite...

 

Yer gonna drive in the winter snow with them ?
Why not wait till spring ?

I will take them off once we get some snow...

None in the forecast for the next 2 weeks at least... thats 2 weeks of pimpin! why would I give that up!?

Plus, you know how it goes... it takes at least 2-3 measurable snowfalls before the shit sticks.

 

I also use Mother's Chrome Polish.

Too bad I am taking my chrome rims off soon for the coming winter.

 

WINDEX!

 

Foaming glass cleaner...........don't laugh, try it and you'll see.

 

I wax my chromes once a month, then I use either this Eagle One Chrome Wheel Cleaner then windex or just the Glass Foam thing it is the best

 

whats the point of waxing if your cleaning with windex??

your just removing the wax. silly nugguh.
