    What is the best way to polish chrome plated plastic? (Grill)

    Should I wax the clear coated aluminum rims, or is there some other type of protection? Thanks.

    Usually that chrome plated plastic is a pain to polish. You don`t want to use something abrasive because it could easily strip the chrome. I would go with a chemical polish.



    I recommend a wheel sealant or Blitz wax for wheels.

    Yeah it does look like it would scratch very easily, so I just washed it then wiped down with QD. I will look for some Blitz, thanks for the reply.

    I like the Mothers Mag Wax or whatever it is called. Works well on all types of metals.
