best way to clean chrome wheels

[dropped01sdime]

whats the best way to clean chrome wheels like a quick clean i use water and a rag idk if thats good or not lol, i was thniking about buiyng a power ball, and whats the best wax to use to polish them, mothers billet? let me know thanks

[Kovz]

Windex / glass cleaner.
Mothers powerball is for polishing billet wheels, and so is billet cleaner. You arent trying to polish them, just make them shiny. so i just clean mine with car soap, water, and a sponge - then use windex on them to make them shine.

[ßɭĬƮƵ]

Yup windex/glass cleaner works perfect...

[dropped01sdime]

sweet thanks guy

[TubbD]

Or, you can use chrome polish

Best stuff ever

Never Dull is harsh, so you gotta be careful with it.

I use that or Mothers Chrome Polish, depending on how dirty the wheel is.


AND, yeah the powerball is useless for chrome.

[LayedOutInVA]

i use mothers once a month and windex every week and it keeps keep my 2os lookin new

well i never had a problem with my wheels with nevr dull, i had these rims this year and another set another year and no complaints. after i use it i wax em up with meguiars spray on wax

[slonlow2000]

after you wash it off with soap and water windex them

[hispanic88]

acid is all im going to say.

[mister880]

why would you use acid on chrome wheels? only thing acid is good for is if brake dust is stuck on the wheel and no other cleaner will get it off.

[cpolaris502]

window cleaner and mother's chrome polish here.

lol i am cheap but not THAT cheap damn

[S10Blazer98]

i used to use a foaming glass cleaner and steel wool for my rims on my old car. they always turned out looking great.

[Splosion]

I use mothers chrome polish and some windex in between when I am lazy

[beaniebmx]

i dont have chrome rims yet, but i usually get a 2nd bucket and fill it with soap and water and a diffrent rim only washing sponge, clean the rims and tires up nice and good, wash and dry them, and come back and use a nice soft rim rag and windex and it works great, i also use windex on my tires to clean and shine them, works just as good as foaming tire cleaner, one less thing to buy

[simons3z]

if u ask me brake parts cleaner works for everything...followed by alittle soap and water?

i'll stick to chrome polish...

[03xtremeblazer]

i heard that windex is bad for your crome that some chemicals in it will have a negative affect over time. not sure if i believe the guy tho sence you all say you use it. no one has had any dullness from the windex?

[4.3Xtreme]

I like using liquid sodium cloride, but that's just me...

[untouchablez]

i got red paint overspray on my chrome wheels and i have tried a clay bar and some other things what will take this off

[LowNoma22]

I use armor-all wheel cleaner and black magic TI-wheel cleaner, spray on wheels, let set. Then rinse with a hose, and immediately dry with micro fiber cloth.

[Noremac]

i thought ammonia was harsh on chrome...but i just use a rag, soap and water... then go after it with mothers chrome polish

hmm the stuff for the tires? Where did you get it, i have water spots thinking about neverdulling then making sure i dry every time, but if this involves no scrubbing/rubbing/work them im down for it lol

[hollywood]

Soap/water.. And GM glass cleaner works great..

[99SonomaHeavenS]

i tried that polish posted above by turtle wax and it left like a "overspray" look on my rims, its not very noticable, it took off all the crap tho.... is this normal or was i too abrasive?

No its the black magic TI-Wheel cleaner, i use the armor-all gel tire shine.

if you have overspray you can use 0000 steel wool. push hard but not super hard or you will scratch them. i used that or ill use the treatment pre wax. Best stuff ever. easy to apply and super super easy to come off. best stuff ive ever used. turtle wax and others i dont like. along with windex dont like. id rather use the foaming window spray from dollar store. The dealerships i know hate windex but love foaming spray. just my 2 cents
