"Old school" chrome cleaning
 
After another harsh winter driving season in Ohio it's time to break out the SOS pads and get the funk off of the chrome. Just finished up the rims and bumpers and man, do those things work great. Make sure to thoroughly wash the chrome off with a mild soap and water solution when done. Dry it off and make sure you are wearing shades! :gi:

I would clean my old chrome wheels like that then spay them with clear paint. Not as much shine but no rust for a long time.

I've never tried S.O.S pads, but I know that a ScotchBrite pad does a good job on chrome, as well.
