subject: Chrome wheels maintenance [print this page] You have to clean up regularly and keep your chrome plates shiny. This will make your car look shiny. Cleaning it on a regular basis prevents rust and decay. Your chrome can be cleaned with steel wool or crumpled aluminum foil. If your chrome wheels also appear dull or boring, it's time to brush them. Regular care of these wheels will continue to make them look shiny and attractive.
Prior to polishing the wheels, you should clean them with cool water to wash the salt, sand or dust brake. Then put on wheel cleaner according to instructions mentioned on the package and let it stay for about three minutes. Then use a soft brush to scrub the rims. Make sure to wash the chrome finish to remove the residue of the polisher.
Remember to apply wax or sealant on the wheel after cleaning them. This makes it easier to clean or polish the wheels next time.
