Anyone w/big chrome lips....what polish do you use, Mother's? What kind of towel do you use? Do you wash the towel every time you use it? I don't want to scratch the chrome...give me suggestions

 

Chrome is usually pretty durable as far as scratches go. (high polished is another story) Mothers chrome polish should work pretty well, and I would always use a clean towel when washing them.

 

I've used chrome wheels for over 10 years. They are easy to clean and are very durable. I wash with a sponge using Dawn dish detergent mixed in the bucket with leftover cash wash soap. That's because the car wash soap has some wax in it, after washing the car just add the Dawn and more water. I wax the wheels with Mothers carnauba wax about four times a year. I have polished lips and have to wax those at least once per month. I've used this method a long time and my wheels always look new as long as I have them.

 

What kind of wax do you use on the lips?

 

Personally I use Wenol in the pink tube.

moog how is wenol compare to the regular mothers polish? mothers is ok but still leaves a little haze I may have to go at them harder

 

What kind of towels do you use to put on mothers or wenol?

 

I personally haven't used mothers polish, so I can't comment on how it compares to Wenol. I will say that high polished wheels require A LOT of maintenance. And to keep them from hazing up, I would polish them at least every two weeks. If you go longer than that, it takes a lot of elbow grease to get rid of the haze (speaking from personal experience).

 

how often do you guys clean your wheels? mine develop a coat of brake dust on the lips after about 4 days and i'm paranoid that it's gonna damage them

my wheels (Lexion Type 203 Triple Chrome)....

 

I clean/wipe down my wheels every 2-3 days depending on how dirty they are.....chrome you can go a bit longer they're a lot easier to clean
