Question Dirt won't come off chrome wheels...

My car has been in my parents' back yard for a little over the past year and a half. Although my parents started it every once in awhile and drove it a few times for me, they didn't keep the car as clean as I used to. There is a dirt/grime build up on my chrome wheels that refuses to come off. So far the best luck I've had is with a combination of Z6 spray and a claybar, and turtlewax polishing compound. It's still a very tedious process though. Is there any sort of "miracle" compound so my lazy *** can spend less time cleaning the car and more time driving in it?

Thumbs up Re: Dirt won't come off chrome wheels...

Not sure if anybody cares, but I went to Autozone and bought some "Eagle One Nevr-Dull Wadding Polish". It worked pretty good, much better than the polishing compound that I was using. The hardest part was all the little bolts on my Enkeis. After I used the Eagle One I put on a fresh coat of Z1 and Z5. My wheels look just like they used to before I had to leave the car with my parents.

Nah. I got 16x8 chrome ZR1s on my Z when I bought it and I had to sit down for atleast a half hour with each wheel getting all of it clean. Just be sure to put a good wax on them after you get them cleaned and polished. It'll make that cleaning process a whole lot easier next time.
