ThePDB Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 what do you guys do to get your chrome wheels clean. mine wont come clean with the basic car wash. i dont want to experiment with any cleaner for fear of ruining the wheels. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I used to use never dull but it always took FOREVER to clean a wheel. Now I use maquires hot rims. It's safe for the chrome and it cleans them in NO TIME! Hope that helps. Chad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevySSandChevy8.1 Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Mcguires is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterp Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Wonder if that would work on my Corsa tips, too. I use NevrDull at the moment and it works but it does take some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOLSTEIN Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 when you say they wont come clean do you mean the have black spots from brake dust or are they pitted? tarnished? oxidized? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsws6 Posted July 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 i would say they are tarnished with some oxidation i just got them this spring but with it being rainy this year they got pretty dirty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwarren Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 I normally just wash mine while washing the truck. Dry them off and use Meguiars glass cleaner with a microfiber towel to get them spotless. Every couple of months I use the chrome wax/cleaner on them.

peerson Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 I use 0000 Steel Wool. IT WILL NOT SCRATCH CHROME WHEELS. Or, anything else that is CHROME plated. Removes everything and you don't really need to ever wax chrome. Takes about as long as wiping them dry with a towel. T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have used the powerball and it did a great job. Alex (r8rs4lf) posted his review of how it did on his 22" Intros and he seemed to give the thumbs up too. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of pain. Once you get them clean a good waxing should be done... this'll keep things from sticking to the surface and making cleaning in the future much easier.

r8rs4lf Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 (edited) Mothers makes great products! I used the Power polish with the Powerball on my billet aluminum Intros and they looked like they came from the polishers. When I had my stock chrome SS wheels, I used Mothers chrome polish and it worked well. Polishing chrome is alot easier than polishing billet, that's for sure! Go with Mothers, you won't be disappointed! Dylan Would waxing billet be detrimental at all? If not, what should I use Mr. Detail?
