Best product to clean( and keep) chrome wheels clean
What product do you use to clean chrome wheels.I've also heard that using windex on chrome rims keeps the brake dust from sticking on them.
Any ideas( that have worked for you), would be appreciated.

I started using NOVUS http://www.noscratch.com/novus/index.shtml
got it from a plastic supply store. I'm using the #1 and a start bottle of 8oz would have been enuff to get a good test. I got the 64 oz bottle...way too much. It's silicon and my painter friend says don't use it on the painted body because it's a bear if he has to paint my car: big increase in prep time.
I've used it on glass top, chrome, door handles, windows, mirrors, etc and you can't believe the depth of the reflection. Put it on a polished '84 alum air intake and all was amazed at how much it improved. Paid about $13 for the 64 oz size and think the 8 oz is about $5. Some guy here on CF used it on his Black car and posted pictures a few weeks ago.WOW!!! Wife says next aplication is house windows and mirrors (should never have shown her results on the Vette).

For cleaning, I use Eimann Fabrik Tire Cleaner then put a coat of Wheel Wax on. Keeps my chrome wheels easy to clean, and shine is great. I've not found anything that will keep brake dust from sticking, but Wheel Wax will making them easier to clean.
