Since I recently bought chrome wheels and have never had chrome before, I am wondering if there is any "special" things to do or not to do when washing. And if there is any special maintenance...

 

Clean them very often. The longer you let the dirt/grime/brake dust sit...the FASTER they will dull out.

Let's just say I have had my 18x9 Cobra R rims for 5 years and still won 90% of my car shows this final showing year

 

Do you use anything special on them, though?

 

Well you could by rim and chrome care cleaners for your rims, mcguires make a nice product.

 

I just use good old CHROME CLEANER. Wipe on good....allow to dry to a powder form and whipe off

 

I just use Maguires Gold Class car wash.....

 

wax them once a season, clean them with chrome spray about once a week.. i have chrome so i know.

 

thanks guys

 

no prob,.. just make sure you use wax every season, not the paste or the liquid the other one, i forgot what its called they use it for rims. but wax on chrome is key because it protects them.

 

the gel or the spray on type, you mean?
