Proper maintenance will protect chrome wheels from corrosion, preserve wheel life and ensure a like new
appearance for many years.
1. Wash chrome rims frequently. Use a mild detergent to remove any salt, dirt, mud or grime. Never use abrasive
cleaners on plated or painted surfaces.
2. Polish the clean chrome wheels periodically. Use an automotive grade chrome polish.
3. Routinely and liberally apply a weather resistant wax to each polished chrome wheel.
Choose a product suitable for chrome finishes. Read and follow the product labels and instructions.
4. Chrome wheels exposed to road salt ( or salt in the air in coastal areas ) are more susceptible to corrosion if
not properly cleaned. Clean chrome wheels more often if they're exposed to salt or other corrosive elements.
If light rust is found on the chrome finish, use steel wool ( # 0000 OTT grade ) to remove it. Gently rub the
affected areas with the steel wool until the corrosion has been removed. Clean and polish the wheel as outlined
above.
