I am looking into buying a custom set of chrome wheels for my truck from American Racing . They have and recommend their own brand of polish and protectant . does anyone know anything about it . I am concerned since the wheels are chrome and do not want to chance voiding the warranty using another brand product .

Re: chrome polish

Seeing as they will be new any strong sealant/wax will protect them with no problem. They should only need soap and water to clean them thoroughly if you stay on top of them from the get go.

Re: chrome polish

They are new so I would protect with something like DG 105 or FK Hi Temp wax

Re: chrome polish

use a dedicated chrome polish like Mothers as needed. Using a wheel sealant like Poorboys or DP will protect them and means less polishing too.

Re: chrome polish

I found a homemade polish at a drag race in Norwalk OH a few years ago. Looks sort of like a milky solution that you just polish on until it turns black and then buff off the residue. The guy sold it at a little stand set up in the concession area of the dragstrip. Wonderful stuff and seems less harsh then the pastes and similar products for chrome. I would agree with killrwheels though, find a good chrome polish and then sealant.
