Coke and Aluminum Foil... for cleaning chrome????
Thats what i was told to use to get a light overspray of clear coat off my already nice pretty chrome wheels. Anyone have any better ideas?

Never have tried it. If you do it, let us know how well it worked for you.

A simple wax is the best cleaner for chrome. Even Turtle Wax. No weird special treatments needed.

Claybar will clean overspray and stuff off of wheels too.

The best (and cheapest) chrome cleaner is glass cleaner. The cheapest stuff you can find. To make it even better, add a little isopropyl alcohol.
For those really dirty chrome parts, a good chrome cleaner/polish will work well.
Enough of this crap. This thread should be in the Car Care Discussion forum anyway!
