Danzig,

That pic is what the pitting/oxidation looks like on my rims as well. I was going to hit the local auto store to see if i can find a compound that is safe for plastic. The rims don't look bad, but up close u can see it and it bugs the hell out of me. Can u buy just the outside plastic for the rims??

let me know if u figure any fixes out for this problem , i will do the same!

Later,

Jeremy

 

i use nevr dull (like i do for almost everything) to remove all the brake dust and pitting works amazing, and then i follow it up with mothers chrome polish, do it about twice a week till i can get ceramic pads

 

i always just scrub em with a sponge and rinse and they look great, but simple green is a good idea, ill have to try that tommorow.

 

1) I used Eagle One Never-Dull Wadding Polish on my '07 on all of the chrome pieces, including the rims, plastic chrome handle covers, etc. and never had any problems.

2) I had someone hit (& run) my truck in a parking lot and they scraped up the wheel. The shop just ordered a new cover for it and it was around $100? They didn't have to replace the whole wheel. So, I guess if you knew the right part # then you could order just new covers.

 

I personally think that simple green is the best all purpose cleaner out there. I always use it whenever something needs a good cleaning and it has never let me down.

 

yea i use it alot too, cuts through grease really well, just never thought to use it on the truck.

 

It works great on the truck. Hell, I just used it tonight to clean my grill inserts before I painted them and it worked great.

 

i just use a lot of spit and rubbin

 

Never Dull works very well if the are corroded even after washing.

 

Y'all aren't using simple green on any painted pieces are you? That's a really bad idea.
