Re: Wheel Question

If the wheels are clear coated then treat them like you would paint, wash and wax to protect. If they are a little dirty or stained then NXT All Metal Polish safe for all wheels to clean them up then top with NXT 2.0.

Re: Wheel Question

I imagine they would be cleared, but it would be up to you to make sure.

As was mentioned, they can then be clayed, cleaned, and waxed. (Could clay chrome or polished as well.) If you wanted to use the Nxt Metal Polish it would be safe, but using a product for paint like ScratchX or DC1 might be better.

Re: Wheel Question

If its your 300 make sure they are not chrome clad. Chrysler(along with many others) have started using plastic in place of chrome but they still charge alot for them. Weve got two Jeeps with these. I still wash and wax mine just like the paint and they are doing great after 4yrs.

Ive recently gotten new rims though. Wrangler Moabs.
