Cleaning/Protecting Chrome Wheels

[mike2858]

what do you guys use to clean and protect your chrome rims?

wash your car once a week. eagle one makes great chrome and aluminum wheel cleaner. use that along with a soft wheel brush. between washings, keep a bottle of window cleaner and spray wax in your trunk. i had chrome rims on my old car and i used to clean them every day with window cleaner and put a coat of spray wax over top of that. it will give your rims the ultimate glow.

Yup eagle one wheel cleaner then top it off with a wax. Wax makes cleaning them a lot easier and helps reduce the amount of brake dust and road grime thats able to attach itself to the rims.

Mothers' chrome polish works miracles on chrome wheels. I use it once every 3 or 4 washes and just clean them normally in between and they shine like new.

I like the Orange colored Eagle One, and yes Windex makes 'um shine.

A clay bar with Windex works really well at getting off brake dust aand road grime. I also like the Mothers polish...

the mothers cleaner sounds pretty popular. i am going to protect the rims with z2 from zaino.

I use mothers about every 10 washes. between that I use Rain-X window spray/foam, that makes the chrome resist water spotting.
