Now's a great time to send YOUR wheels out, have them chromed, and then remount them for the good spring riding. I sent mine to ChromeProsPlating out of Corpus Christi, TX. They did a super job, very reasonable, and the quality is outstanding. Both wheels for around $525. That's been three years ago, so prices could have gone up, but they do a great job, and you always know you're getting your own wheels done. Good luck trying to clean them. It's a major pain in the butt. One of the best things I ever did was chrome my entire front end and wheels. So much easier to maintain, and it always looks great.

 

Neverdull, about 5 mins per wheel a year.

 

thanks guys for the good info!!! would like to chrome...but may just have to polish for now.....

 

I've had good success with Mothers and Meguires alum and mag wheel polish.

 

+1 on The Chemicalguys.com, the sealer is called Wheelguard. It works pretty good and is great on the chrome too.

 

Impress Plating and Polishing http://www.ippworks.name/ I did the wheel exchange and couldn't be happier. Price was right and their work is perfect, 3 year warranty also.

 

thanks for the links

 

Try Flitz metal polish or if you can find it Wenol Metal polish (it's a German product). Both do a similar job and remove oxidation and stains. Wenol is usually sold at auto shows, flitz can be found at some hardware stores.

Put some on a rag or small polish wheel and just keep rubbing, using a clean rag/wheel on a continuous basis. Makes mine shine like chrome. Wenol has a protectant that stays on for awhile, not sur about Flitz.

 

I use Blue Magic metal polish and a Mothers Power Ball !!!
