0 Chris@Adams Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I would go with our Ceramic Wheel Coating, great shine & protection! http://adamspolishes.com/shop/exterior/coatings/adam-s-ceramic-wheel-coating.html Dan@Adams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Dan@Adams Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Yep, the Ceramic Wheel Coating will keep them protected the best for the longest period of time I would recommend our Wheel Cleaner for a deep cleaning if they need them first. A more affordable option than the Wheel Coating would be to polish them with either Metal Polish #1 and #2 first, then seal with Paint Sealant or H2O Guard & Gloss for a few months of protection per application. Brilliant Glaze also works great on chrome to shine it up, but it doesn't add any lasting protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know what to use.I hope i dont sound like an idiot, but im not sure what ss rims are. I will say that on both of my tahoe's that i have had, the chrome looking wheels are clear coated. So you would use clay bar, paint polish and whatever style paint protection works for you(wax is not good on wheels, doesnt last because of the heat). You def dont want to use metal polish if they are clear coated. If they are true aluminum or what not, spend a lot of time polishing them, make them perfect and i would coat them, because true aluminum needs constant upkeep. I do the fire truck's wheels at work, and it takes about an hour per wheel, and thats if they are in good shape, but they come out looking like mirrors! vollychief 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 red94chev Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I'm thinking he meant SS wheels as in Super Sport wheels from the Trailblazer SS. A really common modification in the GM crowd. I would go with the Ceramic Wheel Coating. Nickfire20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
