What are you using to polish your wheels and bumpers? I want to put a good coat of something on them... been using Meguiar's wax... is there something better for the chrome?

I heard that mothers chrome polish is the best. I just picked one up today from wall-mart, it's raining right now so I'll try it out tomorrow.

I boycott Walmart so I just use windex and a rag for the rims. On a regular basis works great...

Wax would be best if you need something other than cleaning. I would strongly suggest not to use chrome polish. Chrome polish works by REMOVING a small layer of the chrome. Use it sparingly if you must.

I despise Windex ever since I found Stoner's invisible glass. Much less effort to get a streak free clean. That stuff rocks!! I even have the wife using it in the house.

I just used ceramic stove top cleaner and it took all the water spots off that werent coming off. Chrome looks like a mirror.
