Suggestions on a good chrome wheel protectant/sealant..

[SameSongNDance]

Well, it's been raining here in northern jersey for about two weeks straight and the chrome lips on my wheels are really taking a beating. I already have Mothers Metal Polish but I am really looking for a way to protect my wheels from the rain. Any thoughts? Thank you.

I would use metal polish only when needed as they are all abrasive. That said, Flitz is the best polish I have ever used and can polish to a mirror shine. I would use nothing else. It leaves some protection behind when buffed off. But there is no substitute for a good coat of wax on chrome wheels.

Agreed, using a good wax will protect the chrome-clad wheels, keeping them cleaner longer. My favorite is Klasse All-In-One, a synthetic polish, available from several online vendors.

What about the forged aluminum wheels on the Classics? I am looking for something to bring out a little more shine. These may be clearcoated. Any Help???
