Default Chrome Rims/Adams polish question

I was thinking of trying some of adams products and had a question. I was thinking of trying the Metal polishes but it says if the rims are clear coated then use the Revive Polish, are the factory 10 spokes clear coated? Also thinkg of doing the glass detail kit and the carpet cleaner if anyone has any nput on these. Thanks!

10 spokes are cleared so you do NOT want to use the metal polish on them, unless you get the clear stripped off.

The glass cleaner is by far the best I've ever used. Lightly mist the window (less is more w/ this product) and wipe away w/ their glass towel and it's simply the easiest way to get streak free windows.

The carpet cleaner is good. If you have really bad stains and are trying to scrub them out by hand, don't really expect them to be completely gone, but if you get a small carpet extractor, you'll be set. You'll want to soak the stain, agitate it w/ a stiffer brush, and then extract it with the machine.

The chrome ones aren't clear coated, only the silver versions.

Meaning, that the Adams chrome polish is safe to use on the original GM chrome ZR1's/10 spokes, correct? I've used the #2 polish on mines once and they came out phenomenal, just hoping that I didn't harm the wheels at the same time though.

Sorry for the old'ish thread bump, just figured I would ask since I searched

Yes it will be just fine on chrome wheels
