Chrome wheels. Wax or not to wax?

Saleen0101 · August 22nd, 2008, 11:25 PM

I want to keep my chrome wheels looking new for many years to come. I have been doing alot of research online about waxing chrome , but have been getting conflicting information. Like wax need to breathe etc. Will the wax keep brake dust to low or attract more? Any suggestions would be great

I think just polishing it will do fine. It will still gives you shine without attracting more brake dust.

Waxing chrome gives it a protective finish and helps prevent rust.

Well I applied mothers chrome polish and finish it up with Turtle cleaner caruba wax. I hope that doesnt attract too much brake dust.
