Its been awhile since I have washed my truck. I have chrome 22" rims. The rims are oxidized. I tried to use windex to clean them, its what the shop told me to use when i first bought them. Here is a picture of them http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/521/rimsu.jpg I need to know whats the best thing to use to clean them thanks.

oh you can get it a autozone,advance, if i remenber right its been a long time since i bought sum,,, it goes a long way

 

I use Windex, then wax them with Mothers Carnauba. I'm running 22's as well.

I can't really tell from your pic, but if its pitting, then there's nothing you can do about it. Other than that, you might try that Power Cone thing from Mothers with some polish on something a little more powerful than a cordless drill. I'd probably try some medium cut compound if it's bad. Finishing compound if it's not that bad. Waxing the wheels will really help protect them. Aftermarket wheels do not hold up like OEM chrome wheels. I try to do mine every weekend.

 

SOS pad. wash the wheels like you would wash your pots and pans.... no kidding. i wash all chrome with an SOS pad.

 

Nevrdull is without a doubt the best thing to use...short term. Long term use will eat the chrome right off those rims. Every time you use nevrdull you take a very small layer of material off of the rim. After 5 or 6 years you will start to remove the chrome plating. So it depends on what you want...5 years of damn fine looking rims, or rims that look good for a long time.

 

^That's the OP's pic.

Here is what I use:
1. Spray a liberal amount of Simple Green all over the wheel.
2. Use either Mother's powerball, or Black Magic's"power cone". And polish the hell out of your rims.
3. Rinse with water, and apply Turtle wax Chrome polish, again apply and polish with either the ball or the cone.

Turtle wax also makes a light scratch remover, basically, just a very fine grit polish. I would use that too if your rims are full metal, and not something like a plastic plating.

 

Thanks for all of the replies, I think im gona try some of the other suggestions before i use the neverdull, i want to keep my rims as long as possible, but if nothing else works thats what im tryin thanks for all the help. Has anyone ever heard of noxon?? I saw a video on youtube last night and the stuff looked like it worked great just wondering if anyone had some personal experience with it???

 

Those RIMS are not even that bad. I had much worse and had no luck with products. Then I ran accross an article that said you could clean them with aluminum foil and water. I thought BS but it came off easy cheesy! I was amazed at how easy it came off! Apparently the aluminum foil changes the chemical makeup of the oxidation or rust. This supposedly works on rusted steel too! Anyway thought I would post this to help someone else with the problem I had.

 

Those are nothing, just some hard water spots. I use Flitz for all my unpainted surfaces, first saw it at Bike Week in Daytona prolly five or six years ago, it's what all the Harley guys use on their chrome. Ain't found nuthin' better yet...

Case in point, my toolbox is seven years old, been sitting in the south Georgia and north Florida sun for all that time. I hit it with Flitz, 2 or 3 times a year and still looks new:

 

You do realize this is a two year old thread?
