I have an 05 dodge ram 1500, bought it recently at an auto store and the rims were shiny, i could see my reflection. But now they appear a little faded...what can i buy to make them shiny again??




Here's my truck with the factory rims:

 

There are all kinds of wheel polishes and waxes out there, any of them with a little elbow grease will do the trick I'm sure. The mothers wheel polish with the buffing ball works real good.

 

you can use aftermarket wheels to make them shine better. LOL

 

simple green, i clean the little chrome i have with it, shines it nice. it initially has a fog on the chrome, so i go back over with a damp cloth to clean off the residue.

 

I use the Mothers power cone and polish. Works really well. I highly reccomend it.

 

mothers, meguiars, etc etc, all suck! they will add a little shine to em, but will not produce amazing results. ive gone through em all.

-best chrome/polished wheel cleaner i have ever used, and ive use every instore, and car show display product out there

 

Never Dull !

 

I thought someone here once said simple green would eat through the chrome or something along those lines

 

Any kind of strong Tire cleaning solutions will damage chrome, aluminum wheels over a period of time. Trust me, been there done that! I use the same soap that I wash my truck with and a rag to clean my rims and then what ever wheel polish I may have on hand,EAGLE 1, Mothers. MDRAM, I would be willing to try some of that stuff but seems like you get it from CHINA or something? WTF??

 

Flitz, end of story...
