Underworld Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I've got the chrome double 6's and the rims are slightly weathered and covered in break dust. The actual spokes look different and still nice and chromey. This makes me think they are different materials? Are the spoke chromed and the rims some sorta aluminium? I read on the description for autosol that it should not be used on mirrored alloys. But its fine on chrome. What should I use? I want to buff them up good and propper! I need to get something for this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooquicktostop Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 The double six chrome wheels have a bad reputation for discolouring and peeling, I had these on my first supra in chrome and I had in the end to get them refurbed to gunmetal which I felt in the end was a better look, the car was stolen a few weeks later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Autoglym metal polish is pretty good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickTT Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 car shampoo with a sponge to get the crap off, then autoglym alloy wheel sealer. Makes them look nice, but other than keeping them in your living room, there's not alot you can do to keep the chrome on them for any lenght of time:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
