So I haven't polished chrome wheels in like 10 years lol. What's new out there? Faster? Better?

I would upload pics of the wheels I'm doing but tapacrap is being a f**king piece or fu**ING sh*t again like always. Having a samsung doesn't help either :banghead:

x2 Nevr Dull.

I want to see @05Single get all furry with the wadding. Look like a cat destroying a pillow. lol

Flitz is pretty good too. If they are really bad, you could step up to Collinite's Metal Wax, but it tends to be a bit aggressive on chrome and can leave hairline scratches even though it will cut through the crud pretty quick.

No i don't expect perfection with these, there will always be pitting. Don't wanna waste my fancy polish on them. Need to find never dull.

Turtle Wax's Chrome Polish and Rust Remover and some #0000 steel wool might be the trick. You can get the TW at O'Reilly's, it's in a squat green bottle:

#0000 steel wool can be gotten at Walmart, etc. Just let the steel wool do the work, don't grind too hard, and you shouldn't scratch the chrome. I did that on my chrome wheels on my Bonneville years ago and it really cleaned them up nicely.

I'll get it all. Try it all out. I think I can pick up that steel wool at home depot too...
