RE: Waxing chrome wheels...
In addition in making sure that you get many years of pleasure from your chrome wheels, there are a few points we wish to address regarding chrome plated wheel care and maintenance. Wash exactly as you would your cars bodywork, its simple:- [blockquote] 1. Fine spray rinse wheels/spinners off with water.
2. Mix car shampoo wash & wax with water in a bucket and wash wheels with sponge.
3. Rinse off wheels with water.
4. If wheels are still dirt/brake dust stained use a chromed wheel only cleaner! Simply spray it on a, lightly scrub with a sponge if required, hose it off, simple!
5. Once dry use a car wax to add a protective layer. Wax helps to protect the chrome finish by adding a protective layer. Dirt and brake dust will stick to this rather than the chrome finish. Making cleaning a lot easier. [/blockquote]It is best to wash the wheels once a week to help stop brake dust and dirt being ground-on. If you ignore cleaning your wheels brake dust, salt and dirt will pit the finish, as moisture in the climate will react with the chrome plating. Do not use car washes, the detergents used could damage the chrome finish, or the chrome finish could get scratched. Don’t use any wheel dirt/brake dust cleaners than can’t be used on chromed wheels, the acid content could effect the finish, we only recommend what is listed above. When it comes to a Chrome wheel protection special coating would help to keep your wheels looking fresh, prevents dirt and brake dust from sticking and helps prevent corrosion. Good luck!!!!
