I have a set of 19 in wheels. What can i use to get the shine back in the lip of the wheels?

 

Mother's chrome polish...This stuff is FANTASTIC!!!

 

are the lips actually chrome or polished?

 

use the same stuff this dude did:

 

Would chrome polish work with the trim pieces along the side windows? Or are those pieces just some kind of plastic that looks like chrome?

 

its polished

 

is the polish coated with anything such as clear coat or anodization?

 

Not to sure. I bought them used. The are volk challanges

 

those are anodized, if the finish is hazy, then you are pretty much screwed and you have to strip the anodizing to repolish them. Try a clay bar with lots of lube first followed by a nonabrasive paint cleaner such as meg's deep crystal paint cleaner or klasse all in one, and see if that helps. Other than that, you'll have to take the wheel apart and have the barrels repolished

 

Try a cleaner/wax to get the krid off the polished surface. If they look better
after that get some Wheel Wax.....that's what I've used since my Volks
arrived......Good Luck!
