Chrome Wheels Problem

[Blueline]

There is no "Wheels" section so I guess this is the next logical place. A friend of mine just had his winter rims and tires put on. The summer stock GM chrome wheels have some pitting and what looks like corrosion, on the inside of the wheels, where our friendly GM people have really scrimped on the chrome . It is not really bad, but he would like to know what he can do over the winter to clean this up and protect it in the future. His thought is to clean the spots up with a small, soft wire wheel you attach to a drill for small work such as in hobby use, and then spray with clear coat or Tremclad clear.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

Re: Chrome Wheels Problem

Do you have any or can you get any pictures? From what it sounds like, there might not be anything you can do besides wax those areas to try and prevent it from spreading further.

We would really need to see some pictures to see exactly what you talking about.

Re: Chrome Wheels Problem

Even a wax will wear off pretty quick on a wheel. Pics may help, but some clear sounds like an idea.

Thanks. I will get a picture or two over the weekend.
