My mother just got a used Chrysler Concorde and it has the "Chrome Clad Wheels".. If you aren't familiar with what they are, they are basically a plastic chrome facade over aluminum wheels. They aren't really grimey, just that cloudy-chrome look.



I haven't dealt with these before, I am assuming an AIO product (non-abrasive) is safe to clean and shine these things. I switched from Klasse AIO to DG 501 as an AIO product.



I figured I have to treat them with the same care as plastic chrome trim/grilles. Let me know what you guys are using to clean these.
 
I asked this a couple of weeks ago. Here's the thread:

What I've done is used Eagle One All Wheel cleaner to get them clean and then waxed then with Zaino. I wouldn't use the Eagle now because it probably would remove the Zaino and it's not necessary because the dirt is not sticking so much now that they are waxed. I have a second wash mitt to wash the wheels with Zaino soap, then I dry and and wipe with Z-6.



Also, Mopar makes a wheel cleaner specifically for these wheels. I would have bought that instead of Eagle One but didn't have time to go to the dealer for it at the time I bought the wheel cleaner.
