I have a small chrome peel on the front rim---does anyone know the best procedure to stop the chrome from peeling any further.

I've been cleaning the rims with orangeblast degreaser, could this be the problem.

thanks,

Clean it, touch it up with clear & hope for the best!

 

once it starts youre not going to stop it and yes that orange stuff could cause it.

 

thanks BH and Pittguy---no orange stuff on the chrome.

 

stay away from any citrus cleaners,,, not good
I used a orange cleanser,(from work) on wifes Honda CRV rims
did a good job as far as brake dust,,, but now,,, oooops,,bad idea

 

And most defenantly stay away from battery acid and muriatic acid all can kill chrome.

Some times you can get battery acid spray from some older trucks on the road when the systems have been over charged or low slung battery trays get road debris kicked up to the battery and crack the cases. I stay clear of all trucks, and older cars especially.

 

Hate to say it!!! Powder coat!!!! lol

 

Way Better answers than I would've gave!

 

Time to buy new wheels for Christmas!

 

In a pinch, grab the old ladys' clear nail polish to stop further deterioration of chrome until you can do the job right. Same goes for chipped paint.
