have anything good for chrome wheels, to protect them from the elements and give them a good shine? ive just used carnuaba wax in the past.
also if so anything that might get the odd super fine swirl mark out (I think swirls in chrome wheels is common but its just from washing/drying them over the last 2 years)?
My Metal Rx polish is really popular, it cleans, polishes, and leaves a layer of protection behind. This can be used on chrome, aluminum, stainless, etc... It has no abrassives, so it works excellent on chrome. I deal with a lot of bad metal and this always does the job. http://www.obsessivedetail.com/metalrx.html
Also, the new Optimum Metal Polish is very similar.
To get out fine scratches in chrome, I would recommend using a polishing ball with a machine.
I have a meguires ball that i've never used, heard there bad but I still got it lol.
Your Metal RX looks nice, What about the obsessive wheel seal?
Also just apply them with a nice soft microfibre cloth? I find with my current microfibres I get super super fine swirls in the wheels, is this pretty much normal from washing etc? Or should I try one of your Super Fly Towels?
The Metal Rx has a lot more cutting power, and leaves some nice protection behind. The Wheel Seal cleans, shines and protects, it just doesn't have the cutting power that the Rx has. If your wheels are in good shape the Wheel Seal will be fine, if they need some work I would go with the Metal Rx. I like to apply with a microfiber towel. If the wheels are bad and need some extra cut I use a cotton towel.
Well the wheels are 2 years old and im super anal about them, no big marks, no dirt nothing lets call them showroom shape. I dont want any abrasive polish on them it would probably make it worse, what do you mean when you say cutting power?
By cutting, I mean cutting through oxidization. The Rx cuts through oxidization a lot better than the Wheel Seal. Since your wheels are in good shape, the Wheel Seal would suite your needs better.
Those microfibers you posted will work fine. Foam and microfiber applicators will work really well too.
