...keeping the polished chrome wheels clean?? Is there a product out there for this??

 

They are clear coated, so soap and water should work fine. You could always just use any wheel cleaner safe for clear coats also. That is what I do.

 

I wash mine with soapy water, and then wash them again with soapy water.
then I dry them like they were a painted surface...using a "shammy"...

after they are almost dry, I use a spray on wax-as you-dry from McGuires...I then buff them to a lustre using a microfiber towel.

just pretend they are your hood, or your door...

I also recommend using tire dressing BEFORE finishing your wheels...it saves you from doing your wheels twice.


not the greatest pics, but here's an idea:





before my first cleaning, my wheels almost looked like un-polished aluminum...needing a polishing REAL bad...but after my first detail, they came out looking almost chrome.

 

My wheels are chrome if that makes a difference, but I use my car wash soap if I am washing the car and use a microfiber towel. Then I use quick detailer and a clean and dry microfiber towel to remove any water spots and get them to shine. Between washings I just use the detailer and microfiber towels. I was told the the terry towels will leave fine scratches behind.

 

THANK YOU everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Here is what I do. I took a piece of cardboard and cut a circle the size of my rims and then put a couple of holes towards the center so I can hold it with my fingers up to the wheel and then spray the tire with what ever product I have and that keeps it off the rims. do I win anything for this tip? huh, come on, gotta be worth something.

 

I use a wax base ( like Mcguiers liquid wax ) on a clean wheel. Then detail with a little spray wax applied to a diaper after washing.

 

I use a product called system 1 spray wax. The great thing about it is that it can be used on most of your car...paint,glass,vynil,plastic. It can be applied on wet or dry surfaces,although I recommend wet because it seems easier. It will make your car look like you spent hours waxing it.

I know i have different wheels but the process is exactly the same, and here is my how to.
