Polish/Chrome

Hey i am hopefully gonna get the malibu back within the next week i was just wondering what most of you guys were using for your wheels and trim. The malibu has New Chrome rims that i don't know what to polish them with and also there is alot of window and drip rail trim that needs polishing too just curious what works the best for all of you


thanks
vince

Well if they are chome then you don't need to polish them. If they are polished wheels then you will need to.

Here's what I do to keep mine looking good.
I use Mother's Billet Polish
Then I use Zanio's car polish
Followed by Zanio's clear coat
Another layer of car polish
Finally another layer of clear coat

This will make the wheels extremely shining and the clear coat will protect them.

Never-dull. Best **** out there, Its in a silver tin. Its a wadding cloth. I have used it on rusted up and pitter chrome wheels that looked like *** and after I used that **** they looked brand new. I suggest it to everyone I know its all I use.
