Did you just do a quick wipe down or did you take the wheels off and clean the inside?

Speaking of which.... I found a new cheap way to keep chrome looking good, shiny and streak-free.
Rubbing Alcohol... my wife is the manager at Zales and they always use it to clean the diamond cases. Ive never seen my wheels so shiny in my life. Albiet, they are only about 3 months old...

i heard windex would damage chrome wheels.alcohol i have never heard about using...might be worth a try. i just wiped down the outside...not a great wash job, just something good enough for me to cruise with!

First off, your car is sweet.

Secondly, once your chrome rims are clean, spray some 303 Aerospace Protectant on em' (then wipe off) and they will stay that way for a while.

i need to get around to wet sanding the hood before MW. i think it looks a lot better in pictures than it does in person. the sound of the novi is a lot better than the videos show. maybe people wont notice the little flaws in my car when they are hearing the nice little whisteling noise.

My car or any of my stangs has never had the torture of not getting cleaned in 3 months

mine is only driven about once a week so it doesnt get too dirty. i usually have it detailed once a month for freaky friday down at fayetteville drag strip. too bad i dont have some 15 pro stars and skinnies to put on the front. the only time the car is at its best it always has mis matched rims on it!

I've been using windex on my wheels for nearly two years now. And this is the "damage" done.

i hope the bumper is the same color!! i think its just the shadows.

if windex has worked on yours for 2 years i guess it would be ok to use on mine too. i'll try that before i go to MW.
