How often do you clean your chrome rims?

I just got mine so I don't really know how often I'm supposed to clean them. I've been cleaning them everyday after I drive just to make sure the brake dust doesn't build up and ruin the finish. How about you? :cheers:

I clean mine when they look dirty or when I wash the car. I just spray "windex" on them to clean them.

any problems with brake dust build up?

The windex will take the brake dust right off, with no problem. I would think once a week cleaning would be fine, unless you really notice a buildup. I have had chrome wheels for about 4 years now and have never had a problem with brake dust build up.
