Hey Detailing Dude - Chrome Wheel Help?

[Eric]

Detailing Dude,

A while back you posted a pretty detailed column on wheel care but didn't have all of the info for chrome yet. Well I just bought a car with chrome wheels for the first time and they are in perfect condition. I'd like to keep them that way so I was wondering if you had compiled anything.

Thanks,
- Eric

Yep, it's white and has two doors and the roof opens up. Sounds like the one I used to have:eyerole, except that it's a 2002 Grand Am GT with a sunroof:L. The little thing is quick too, probably would've taken my 71 off the line.

Hey Amigo, I didn't even see this! I'm sorry. There are clearly two schools of thought on the entire "Protecting Chrome" issue. If I were trying to prove you can protect Chrome I can find manufacturers who say it's fine to do. Likewise, if I were trying to prove you shouldn't I could find others to say the opposite..... I am formulating everything now so hang in there for another week or so and I'll have an answer for you.
