any suggestions on how to maintain the rims like cleaning materials and what to use? This is the first time I've ever had chrome rims so I'm not sure what to do.

 

I clay my wheels and then apply my favorite polish/wax on them, if you use a synthetic product like Zaino your protection will last much longer due to the higher melting temp, carnauba melts at about 138 degrees, and most synthetics are good to 500 degrees or higher.

 

Same here.

 

which brand do you use other else than Zaino?

 

I use Zaino....well because I have an endless supply but if I did not have Zaino I would use Klasse or LQ on my chrome.
