I some compound on a microfiber and got them where they are now. Then put 4 coats of wax. But I agree. Keeping them clean is the only way. The clearcoat is a good idea. I am going to have to look into that. Gun metal would look very nice!

Fishy is trying to be humble. Trust me, if it is at all possible to make those wheels look good, he can do it.:cool:

Did you get the new or used? If used what condition where they in?

Chrome rims are a ***** to keep clean! Well, they are a ***** to keep them shiny atleast. Which is why im painting my 6s white w/ a chrome lip in a month.

Just polish them every few months and you're good with chrome. Not a bad trade off to me :)

They were in pretty good shape when I got them. But they needed polished up. Some rubbing compound and they shine!! Just washed it today, just used car wash
Soap on the wheels and they
Still shine. Wax is holding up pretty well.

Dirt road=cleaning is pretty pointless as nothing stays clean for more that 30 seconds! :High 5:
