Try a chrome polish like mother chrome polish or NXT all metal polish or you can also try 303 protectant

Have you actually put 303 on chrome? I'm just curious because I would imagine it comes out pretty streaky.

Yeah I have. Says it on the bottle you can use it on chrome (wheels). Right under Interior/Exterior. I like doing it when I just need one bottle to dress and protect the exterior trim.

Hmmm . . . that's interesting. I've read 303's website before and they recommend their product for almost anything. They even say to use it on your paint instead of wax. Personally, I'm not sure I would follow all their recommendations. Chrome might be OK though.

We stock the 303 line of products. You can use your 10% off discount for G35Driver members as well. Simply enter in the coupon code 10offG35 during checkout to receive your discount. Sometimes you can find it locally at a boating store.

Let me know if you have any questions on anything.

ill check around and if it dont come off ill get some. If you guys used the chrome wheels cleaner stuff on it and it worked for you then ill try that since i see it at the local stores.

Just that the black water marks look ugly on the chrome....
