Just got me some Chromies!

Got a quick question. What are you guys doing to protect them? Is there some kind of wax or protectant you can use to protect the Chrome from Brake dust, Dirt, Waterspots, ect....

I want to keep them looking new as long as possible.. Thanx in advance.

Ill have pic's up as soon as I get them!

im not sure if this works with chrome..
but search WheelWax.. its supposed to be the best stuff for wheels

brake dust, dirt, water spots are all common things.. and they're impossible to prevent them

just wash your wheels once a week, and you'll be fine.. especially with chrome.. a sponge with soap and water will do the trick

good luck

If their chrome you shouldn't have too much too worry about. It's the aluminum wheels that need all the attention.

I'm seeing alot of new wheels use chrome like coatings/finishes instead of the chromium coating which designates "chrome" wheels. I'm assuming there are probably different ways to take care of them than to use chrome polish. The wheels also come with clear coat on them so perhaps a wax like product may be a better way to go.
