Polished Chrome

How to Polish Chrome Truck Wheels

Soap and water.

Sounds too good to be true, I know. But oftentimes, if the need to clean chrome isn't bad, this is all you need. If it's pots and pans or something else that's easily submersible, a sink full of water, a good dish detergent, and a soft rag (chrome scratches easily) is all you need. Clean the chrome finish on the handles and faucets of your sink while you're at it. For grooves and hard-to-reach places, use a soft-bristled toothbrush.

Clean rusty chrome. If there are little bits of rust peeking through your chrome finish, it works well to grab a bit of aluminum foil, crumple it up, dip it in vinegar (or Coca-Cola), and scrub. Be careful not to apply too much pressure, though. Scrub with medium force and re-dip your foil often. This type of chrome care works well for chrome bumpers, bikes, tailpipes, etc. The Coke does work well, but it will make things a bit sticky. Try vinegar first. Regardless of what you use, after this method of chrome polishing, always rinse well with fresh water. In cases of more severe rust, aluminum foil can be substituted with very fine grade steel wool.

Apply a thin layer of chrome wheel polish. Choose a wheel polish that's specially formulated for chrome wheels to achieve maximum shine and protection. While stronger chrome polishing products are available for rust removal, they are not recommended for chrome wheel finishes. Instead opt for a polish that is labeled "all chrome" to polish your chrome wheels. Apply the polish evenly over the entire wheel using a soft sponge or a plush polishing applicator. Pay close attention to nooks and crevices along the rim where corrosives may build up.

Finally, apply a good quality liquid wax and sealer to protect the wheels !

Simply apply the sealer, allow it to dry, and use a soft cloth to buff the wheel. This added protection will help make it easier to clean and polish your wheels next time.
