Thanks for the help. Is deep wheel cleaner safe on chrome wheels? It isn't advertised as being safe on chrome wheels on the website.

Looking for some input from guys who have had experience with REAL chrome wheels, not clear coated OEM wheels. I am looking to purchase a set of OEM Ford wheels for my truck that have been chromed. Seller states they are triple chrome plated. Nickel, double copper, and then chrome.

My main concerns are how will they hold up over time? What is the maintenance like? I live Southern california so salted roads isnt an issue.

As always, thanks for your input.

Detailed the engine bay. APC, steam cleaner, and a diluted VRT mix

Thanks for all the tips. Got a killer deal on some tires so I got them mounted up before I completed the other 3 wheels. Will definately Polish and seal them up soon though!

Here is an unedited picture of the truck. Adams making it shine reallll nice!

No I have not. I applied the orange with a griots 3" metal polishing foam pad. I figured if that combo didn't cut into it that the white wouldn't make it any better. Should I give that a shot on the others? I have only done 1 wheel so far

Hey guys,

Look for some advice on a set of wheels I just picked up. I got them used but they are off a '15 F150 so they are pretty new. Wheels are clear coated polished aluminum. From a distance they appear okay(pictures look much better than real life) but close up the wheels are pretty cloudy. So far I have used the following on the wheels-

1. Deep wheel clean

2. Orange polish

3. Quick sealsnt

4. Glaze

Are these imperfections I'm seeing beyond repair(beneath clear coat) or do you think it is something that can be fixed. Also I'm assuming there is no way to get more of a mirror finish because of clear coat and finish of the wheel underneath that, correct? Wheels are smooth to the touch (baggie test)

Thank you for your help!

Overall of the wheels. Look much better on camera than in person

For those having issues with the sprayer directly on the tire, I have found that using the Small travel size bottle works great for a nice fine mist. Just refill when empty
