Either Wheel Brightener or just plain old soap and water will do as Bill mentioned. I also try and have a vast assortment for brushes on hand.

I had good luck with the purple power followed by wheel wax on my chrome wheels. albeit they were ford (Roush) rims but chrome all the same. Hope this helps too.

I will have no issues with the chrome using this process Bill?


Thanks for the help Sir, :thumbup:

I used Meg`s APC+ on these chrome wheels today. They still looked terrible after cleaning. They looked clean but just dull and had a built up "film" from 4 years of driving and never being polished or cleaned!!! :cursing::banghead::cursing::banghead:

I followed up with Mothers Chrome Polish and they turned out great! BUT..........a lot of work and a lot of TIME... Almost an hour per wheel, by hand!!!:scared: (Each spoke has at least 5 separate planes that have to be polished by hand.. times 7 spokes, times 4 wheels!)

I asked my customer if she ever cleaned the chrome wheels and she said..."What do you mean?"

Nice Bill :thumbup:

The owner probably forgot the wheels were chrome and passed them off as aluminum.

I have both the Power Ball and the Mini Ball and I can really do a better job by hand.

Is the cone better than the other two?
