Chrome alloy rims can be easily cared for by shampooing with a mild car shampoo and rinsing off carefully. Dry with a soft cloth so as not to scratch the chrome finish. If the rims are still dirty use a specially made chrome cleaner. Other types of cleaners should not be used as they can easily cause damage. Once dry it is a good idea to smear a very thin layer of car wax on the chrome. This will collect dust and other debris which will be easily removed later without damage to the chrome. You should also use a protective coat of wax on other chrome car parts too.
Try not to use automatic car washes as the harsh detergents used will lead to damage to the chrome and the mechanical action can also lead to scratches. Never use cleaners not specifically made for chrome on your rims as they often contain acid which can damage the finish and dull the chrome.
