So I know the wheels on my 2011 Silverado are chrome clad. I have seen the back of the wheels and I can clearly see that it is a chrome plated piece epoxied to the wheel structure. And from what I have read on here and on other forums, chrome is not clear coated. Does this also go for chrome clad wheels? I can see the clear coating chipping where the balancing weights go on the bead of the rim, but I cant tell if the actual chrome piece is cleared.
Chrome plating is chrome plating no matter what it is on, right? Steel bumper or plastic grill, it is still chrome. Does this make sense?
NOW, how do I polish these wheels? I got some QS the other day and I want to put them on my wheels, but I would like to get them as clean and shiny as possible.
