Best on chrome?

[zsoap]

So I just picked up a 2006 Lincoln Zephyr in dark blue. I have chrome wheels, front grille, side mirrors, and window sills. What I'm wondering is if nxt all metal polish is the best product to use or is the a product that would be better for all this chrome?

I use Hot Rims Chrome Wheel Cleaner on mine.

yes NXT all metal polish is what you are looking for! but as WXman suggested clean your wheels first. As for the rest of the chrome regular washing should be good enough

Just make damn sure that chrome trim isn't the plastic variety.

Some is plastic. Still nxt all metal? It says all shiny pieces on the jar.

I would not use NXt Metal polish, or chrome cleaners, etc on plastic covered with shiny stuff. Just wash, use a mild paint cleaner, and wax.

Save the Chrome Cleaner and the Metal Polish for the actual metal stuff.

And,make sure those chrome wheels are really chrome, not clearcoated chrome or polished alloy that's clearcoated.

You only wantr to use metal polish on bare metal.

Actualy, Nxt Metal Polish is clear coat safe.

Cool. I ran out of ScratchX and my car's clear coated.

Well, I dont believe anyone has tried Nxt Metal Polish actualy on their paint.

But it does make you wonder how it would do.

I'm SURE somebody's tried it. Chances are he/she doesn't post here!

Kind of reminds me about what I almost did years ago. I found a new in the box King 3B Silversonic trombone. It's discountinued model with a solid sterling silver bell. On the way to pick it up, I got some silver polish (not clearcoat safe) and then got stuck in traffic with the horn, silver polish and a 64 oz. soft drink.

When I got home, I decided to polish my new horn and broke out the silver polish and towel. That's when the soft drink caught up with me and I grabbed the owner's manual for reading material....

I read that the solid silver bell was painted with clear laquer! I had been seconds away from ruining the finish and the value of the trombone.
