New to detailing...Chrome/plastic chrome advice

Just a pic from last Saturday after my new tires were mounted.

The “chrome” has not been washed in 2 weeks.

8+ years of polishing.

I am the one that said no to a “cleaner wax” based on my experience with VW plastic coated trim. The VW plastic coated trim would get hazy where I tried using Meguires Cleaner Wax so I just stay away from anything with abrasives in it when working on fake chrome. YMMV.

Your chrome wheels look nearly perfect.
It’s amazing to see wheels that are in good hands when it’s usually the opposite.

What in the hell do you mean "nearly" perfect??

Thanks, Ric. I use Collinite #850 metal wax on them about twice a year.

#850 is actually a light metal polish with protective properties, and not a true "wax" for those who are not familiar with it.
