i have been hearing that people are waxing their chrome rims.

what wax do u use? is there anything specific?

when i bought my chromes i was told to only use windex to clean them. windex is suppose to be gentle.

I had to clean mine with Mothers mag polish paste today. They got bad over the winter. Any kind of car wax will do.

is there any specific ones though, i don't want to put something to harse on them. mine are brand new they have nothing at all wrong with them, i just want to protect them, that is why i was thinking about the wax

Mothers Chrome Polish... A friend who has the same wheels was asking why my wheels looked so much better than his. Mothers works great.

i use NXT on mine. just make sure you dont use a compound and you'll be ok

quick questiom though, doesn't polish act kind of like a cleaner and remover layers as u use it. that is why it turns black on the cloth when u are wiping it. or am i cinfusing that with something else?

thanks guys keep them coming.

I had rust starting to form on mine..I think it was just from the brakes from where I wasn't driving it much (and the fact that it was winter time). I just got Turtle Wax Chrome Polish and it made them look like they did the day i bought them. A guy from Auto Zone told me I could use the regular Turtle Wax on them..I bought some of it too and havent tried it yet.

Same here. I use the zaino wash to clean and put a coat of the polish on.

Me too man. Zaino polish is not abrasive at all. It will not put any swirls on the new chrome wheels. If you notice while you are waxing new swirls then you are using a bad towel.

I use a spray wax in a can for touch ups and when at the track to remove rubber and to clean the #'s off the windows. Works great on the wheels too. They sell it at the track, but wallmart carries the same stuff for under $5 a bottle and is good stuff. You can do your whole car if your in a hurry in 20 minutes and use some good microfiber towels. My car is silver so isn't a huge pain to keep clean.

When you polish and get all that black tarnish on your rag, That is just a chemical reaction with the metal. On chrome it will not take off anything because there is no exposed metal.

Seriously give the mothers a try, it left them looking new, and I rushed it. I think you will be suprised by the way they turn out and its not that expensive.

i have the mother's chrome polish, i use that actually on the chrome of the bumper. maybe i will give it a try on the rims.

i used mcguires... or the black 10 dollar tub of it. It is the same stuff i use on my paint and it works awesome on both the wheels and the paint. The little pad it comes with makes it easy to wax those ss 10 spokes.
