I use mothers chrome shine followed by a coat of mothers reflections wax

Mothers Chrome polish works great on the Millienia's factory 17" chromes. You should also know that, chrome polish performance is largly based on the chrome's plating quality.

I saw an advertizment for WheelWax. The stuff looked like it worked great. Check out www.wheelwax.com, and they have the usual speil how their product is the best. I was gonna pick some up, because they actually sell it at a retailer in colorado(colorado product?), but I spaced it out. One of these times i'll pick it up and give a testamonial about it.

I'd use a good wheel wax and a good buffer/polisher

What about on rims that aren't chrome, and not silver? I have Opal? What is recommended?

Do you mean you have like a powder coat on them? I never heard of Opal before.

 

[Bain]

opals are pretty, but i dont know what you use on them

 

[Skiusa2005]

what is an opal rim?

 

[Bain]

ive seen sum that look nickel plated and then there is the black opal.

my personally advice is to just clean them regular, nothing special, just keep them clean. it's unlikly you'll ever get it to shine then when it came off the factory floor, some chrome just don't bling.

Sounds to me like Opal is something similiar to a wheel having a Machined look to it. But, I'm not certain.

I suppose that could be it....WISH SOMEONE WOULD ANSWER ME HERE.....DON'T LEAVE ME HANGIN!!!!
