anyone waxing their chrome rims ?
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.

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

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.

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.

I actually used some today for the 1st time and was very impressed. They turned out awesome and I did a rush job.
