I just wash them with the same soap and water I use to wash the truck. Dry them before they start spotting and presto. The true beauty of chrome is that it doen't require 'polishing' to look its best.

Simple Green is the Chit! I think it works better than the high dollar wheel cleaners .

Wendy,

That's what i've been doing, but I can't help but think i'm not getting the full bling potential. I want people running off the road from the glare.

Since Mother's got two recommendations, i'll give that a shot.

Thanks guys (and Wendy)

Chances are, that it is pretty much the same stuff or very similar. It's amazing what the price of a product does when you put a name on it for special apllications. I work in the chemical industry and many of the cleaners, household and automotive, are very similar in make up. It's in the marketing that differentiates the price.
