Retnuhbackwords Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Are there any tips or tricks to cleaning chrome rims? Cause the standard way of cleaning them is getting pretty annoying...If there isn't well I guess I'll have to live with it.

CleanSierra Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Chrome is easy, use this: http://www.detailing.com/store/meguiar-s-hot-rims-chrome-wheel-cleaner-24-oz.html?gclid=CjwKEAjw8O2hBRDKur2lseLW6C8SJAC-r1J3to11dd44QMGM4DegguLa-wJokz9KXE1IgGC01-2zQhoCPJ3w_wcB Be glad you don't have Billet. Aluminum wheels are much, MUCH more of a pain in the ass than chrome. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REH Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 I use this, extremely fine and does an incredible job on taking anything and everything off that's on there. Some people are for using it, and some against, but you can't argue with the results and I've used it for a long time with no negatives to come with it.

A brush is not needed and I've never found it necessary, even I heavy build up and tar/grime. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.

CleanSierra Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 The mitt is nice to have for washing the car at the house. Ever since they started making one, I have had one. The microfiber is gentle enough but scrubs well for the paint. The downside to the microfiber is that you need to make sure it's CLEAN between uses. Those little bastards hide little hard nuggets of leaves, twigs, dirt, etc. You have to almost pressure wash them to clean them. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 What about black rims I scrub mine with soapy water and a sponge then rinse, then I spray them with windex and wipe them down with a microfiber towel. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.
