Not usually a fan of chrome, but dayumm after washing/waxing my fiances Nitro it looks damn good!! It took me about 3 hours, of detailing the inside, washing the outside, then Icing(waxing) the outside, and last but not least putting some chrome polish on these wheels! Kinda like chrome now, not for me but you be the judge!...

Haha...it took me a few months to get the hint lol. I like it, now if it were only the srt model wirh a Hemi then we'd be talking lol

On the chrome I used turtle wax chrome polish, but first cleaned them with Armorall xtreme wheel cleaner. It took me about 10-15 minutes per wheel lol

Were you making up for doing something wrong or just making a deposit in the love bank so you can make a withdraw at a later date? Just playing, I detail the wife's car every three months just for the fun of it. My love bank runnith over.

Looks great! but I'd be very careful using chrome polish.
Anymore most wheels are clads, and the 'chrome' is clear coated.

Chrome polish will have adverse effects.

This is actually the first time I polished her wheels since shes had the car, which is almost two years..so I dont even use it enough lol

I want to make it a street sleeper lol...around 350 HP out of this thing would be bad ass!!!

ditto to that, treat the wheels as paint, since it has a painted finish on it: wash, clay, correct, seal/wax, maintain
