I just did a hand wash on my truck today and noticed that my wheels were pretty dirty. I scrubbed and scrubbed but when the wheels dried they were still dull not bright and shinny like they used to be.

On my last ruck I had polished alumunum and this time I went with chrome to save me from the dull look.

What is they best stuff to use to get them bright again.

There's a company called Flitz that makes this stuff called flitz metal polish that I've used on other things and it works great. Haven't tried it on wheels yet though. Otherwise there are vairous chrome polishes out there that would probably work for you.

Mothers metal polish works great. Very fine steel wool work on chrome to get rid of bug guts. I wonder if that would polish them? I used it on my motorcycle last week to get rid of last years bugs and rubber on the exhaust. Does not scratch the chrome.

I just bought my first set of chrome wheels and am using turtle wax chrome polish, works pretty good.

mothers, turtle wax chrome polish, eagle chrome wheel cleaner(spray bottle), Xtreme polish, all seem to work good. Also these are the one that I have tried.
