Question What do you use on chrome?

I'm just curious what you all use/would use on your chrome wheels. I just got new ones last week, and am wondering what you recommend for weekly cleaning/washing. I can't really afford anything too expensive, but don't really care! Thanks in advance!!

If they are clearcoated though, I would just use wax.

I clean em with soap and a wheel brush. Then I use a wheel polish I get from a friend who details cars. It's wax based and shines up real nice. It's made by a company called Chemical Guys, but you can get simular products at your local auto parts store.

Congrats on your new wheels! As with any wheel, wash them frequently. Use a spray-on, hose-off wheel cleaner if needed, but avoid any aftermarket brake finishes (if you have them). I like Mothers Chrome Polish as it's very mild and leaves a protective coating. I also like to use it on my exterior glass once in a while. Most of the auto parts stores stock it, as does Wal-Mart. Under 5 bucks for a bottle.

Thanks guys! I'll have to go out when I get a chance. I washed them yesterday, but didn't put anything special on them.
