i clean with wheel cleaner and shine with meguires chrome wheel polish.. bling!
Here's what I do with my chromies homies:
What process and products do you guys use? I'm interested in how some of the more educated guys do the chrome work.
Right or wrong here is the process I usually follow:
(wash, dry the truck body first)
1. Rinse the loose crap off the wheels
2. Spray all the wheels with Hot Rims Chrome Wheel Cleaner
3. Let it sit for a few minutes.
4. Wash the wheels a mild car wash soap
5. Rinse
6. Dry with microfiber
7. Use a can of air to get the water out of the rivets and center caps.
8. Dry again
9. Clean wheels with a carnuaba quick detailer or hydrophobic polymer quick detailer like Maguiars Ultimate for thin later of protection (makes #1 go much smoother)
Then about once a month or so, I use Mother's chrome polish with the Powerball Mini. I also follow that with a quick detail spray for a thin coat of wax or protectant.
I have used some other chrome cleaners but have yet to find one that I can't live without.
