    Re: Chrome wheel issues

    Hey Ric, would Meguiars tire and wheel cleaner work on chrome, or should I stick to a dedicated chrome cleaner?

    Reason I got 1 gallon of the Meguiars wheel and tire cleaner and want to see what rims can I use it on effectively?

    NeverMind I missed the part where OP said he used Meguiars wheel and tire cleaner
    My goal in life is to love God, family and myself. To love others and treat others right.

    Gonna go with some sort of corrosion. IDK.

    Came out nearly perfect aside from the dots in the wheel. Thanks a lot for your help.

    Process:

    Gyeon Iron
    Meguiars wheel & Tire
    Blew dry
    Eagle One Never Dull
    P21s Polishing Soap
    Eraser
    Gyeon Rim (client requested vs other sealant)

    Took a couple of hours but came out nice.

    Re: Chrome wheel issues

    Great save!

    The first photos reminded me of a set of chrome “bundt” wheels I purchased off eBay for my fathers old Mercedes. It was stored in the winter but a number of years later the chrome lifted off the lip and inside edges in a lot of small soft flakes. The wheel was missing the copper coat when chromed..... It was not triple plated. It was nickel plated then dipped. The price was cheap for a reason.
