cleaning chrome ?

[reefkrazy]

Is there any way to remove white small pits off chrome rims? They don't look too bad but you can still see tiny dots. I am using 0000 steel wool and some turtle wax polish but just cant seem to clear it up. Thanks for any info!

What type of polish are you using?is it for metal?

You need to be using metal polish I have gotten great results with mothers mag and aluminum polish and billet polish for all my metals..

If that still doesn't remove the water spots use a very thin sand paper like 2000 just enough to remove those water spots then hit it with the polish and that will most definitely get that shine back

I was using turtle wax chrome and metal polish. I was also polishing by hand. Should I use a drill or dremil ?

i wouldnt be scrubbing chrome with anything...try HOT RIMS by mothers to give it a good deep cleaning...check into NEVER-DULL for chrome...i havent used it so i dont know...i would get them rechromed...

I'd recommend Chemical Guys Metal Wax Polish and Protection,
and then Poorboys wheel sealant.

0000 steel wool works great ,but use polish with it

cool! I was looking into re chroming it but not sure if it's cheaper then new rims. Next week I will try mothers.

Ok so I found a cool vid of using tin foil. I gave it a try and I must say it kicks butt! With polish it looks 100 times better.

I use Mother's Chrome pollish. Very happy with it.

I use eagle 1 Nevr dull wadding polish. Its safe with all types of wheels. But for cleaning I use eagle 1 all wheel cleaner or sometimes car shampoo.

Eagle 1 or meguiars hot chrome are the best...but cant go wrong with simple soap and water...I use one of the 2 I mentioned followed by soap and water
