    So I took my rims off and polished the hell out of them. I was told I should wax them, but I can't find specific "chrome wax". Anyone got tips? :nice:

    Waxing chrome will give the same protection as it would on paint.

    Look for a product called "wheelwax." You can find it on autogeek.com.

    Any metal polish that says it will work with chrome will do the trick. I've tried about three different ones that you can get from autozone and I liked Blue Magic metal polish cream. It's this blue wax stuff that makes my chrome look amazing. It stays clean way longer than if I just use water and elbow grease.

    You can probably get it from autozone, its worth a try.
