Chrome wheel care questions
I got chromies on my two bad boys. Now I gotta find out the best way to care for em. I put a coat of Zaino's Z-2 on em this past weekend. What do you guys recommend for chrome wheel care and cleaning?

I find this very useful for any kind of wheel.
Okay do you know the california car duster. Well first wash your wheels with soap and water clean them good.
Then put some carnuba wax on the, let it dry really good. THen wipe off and your ready to go.
Now when ever they get dirty like break dust and all, take the california car duster and wipe them off, they will be good as new

Just to point out, carnauba wax will be gone from the wheel pretty fast because of the heat. It's nearly wasteful. Z-2 is a much better choice, it doesn't break down under heat.
I would simply wash your chrome wheels weekly or bi-monthly with car wash dilluted in water. You don't need anything stronger than that. If you do, then try P21S wheel cleaner. You have to be careful with wheel cleaners, because some are acidic and with eat the finish. P21S is safe.
