I have chrome rims and the Mfr. told me on no uncertain terms that the ONLY thing they recommend is NEVER-DULL (or similar chrome polish).

The Mfr. said to stay away from the waxes and "other polishes", because, while they work for a time, eventually they will strip the outer layer off of the chrome (not sure what the chemical is called), it is the thinnest layer of the whole process. So you have to treat it delicately.

After paying a premium for the rims, I have taken their advice. It is tough on rims since they attract braked dust like a magnet!

Never-Dull does have some repellent properties and seems to shed the dust for about 2 weeks. No problemo since I wash the car AT LEAST that often.

Someone mentioned "elbow grease"….it takes a lot of that and for the pipes - you are going to have Porsche Elbow! No Pain, No Gain!

Hope this helps.
