Re: Polished/Chrome wheel Polishes, I'd have to recommend Wenol. It's a German-made product that polishes most metals. I've used it to polish aluminum wheels and chrome wheels. They have two versions...one comes in an orange tube/box and it's for polishing stuff that's been neglected. The blue tube/box is the one I use most often and it's for those of us who keep their wheels polished on a regular basis. I had to go to a speed shop to buy it, but I think some discount auto parts stores carry it too. It really brings out the shine....

Re: Polished/Chrome wheel Polishes, Well, you can't really polish chrome, but I clean them with warm soap and water, and then apply Zaino to keep them protected. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Polished/Chrome wheel Polishes, As I mentioned above, you don't polish chrome wheels. Nevrdull is good on polished wheels, but chrome wheels only need to be cleaned, and preferrably waxed, for lasting protection. I use Zaino because it is so durable. Polishing chrome wheels would have the same effect as polishing a car's body, or painted wheels. The surface would just get messed up. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> This is why some people recommend getting chrome over polished, because with polished, there is more work required, to keep them looking good. The bad thing about chrome is the fact that after a while, the chrome could start to flake off or chip. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Polished/Chrome wheel Polishes, I use a high quality foaming glass cleaner on my wheels. Then a coat of Meguires gold class wax. I would also recommend Wenol. Great stuff!
