0000 steel wool
 
Would 0000 steel wool be ok a coated chrome wheels? Im selling them and I want them to look show room condition. I have them at about a 8/10 but theres a couple spots that need some TLC. I used Meguiars Hot Rims wheel chrome cleaner which did really well. Thanks fellas.

I use it on my kmc wheels with no problems just make sure to keep the wool wet and soapy

migdaddy 12-09-2010 07:20 PM

Doesn't matter

You should never use chrome cleaner or steel wool on COATED wheels. You must treat them like paint, because that's what the coating is! Clearcoat.

Noooooooooooooooooooo not on coated wheels...unless it is a clear powdercoating!

I just got done goggling this brand wheel every where just says chrome finish I have yet to see anywhere that says coated chrome. Unless he had them coated bought he bought them.

migdaddy 12-10-2010 05:29 PM

i havent done anything to them. So if they are just chrome coated, then will 0000 be safe?

bankrpt 12-10-2010 07:01 PM

Yes if they are just chrome but if they had a teflon coating on them then no but I've never seen a chrome wheel with teflon coating mostly powder coated wheels

They may have standard automotive clear coat on them. If so, treat them like paint.

Did the rags turn black when you cleaned them with the Megs polish?

migdaddy 12-14-2010 09:10 PM

yes. but it wasnt polish, just a spray cleaner. I polished with flitz and the rag turned black.
