    Help wanted......

    In August bought a brand new set of alloys for my gt they are matt black with a chrome lip, about a month down the line got my car washed at my local. When I got home I realised that the Crome on the alloys looked dirty I rubbed it with a cloth to find out that they was stained.



    If anyone could help me with what the best thing to clean them with to get the chrome looking shinny agen it would be much appreciated.

    Cheers

    get a good wheel cleaner a non acid based cleaner and use a good brush, one that you can get into the little grooves and gaps

    also if you do use a acid based alloy cleaner make sure you dilute with water otherwise you will end up with white streaks on the chrome
