NEW: How To Clean Chrome - Cleaning Chrome Rims & Car Parts

Read The Blog Here: http://learnautobodyandpaint.com/how-to-clean-chrome-cleaning-chrome-rims-car... Cleaning Chrome Rims & Car Parts From Home might be confusing at first if you don't know what steps to take or just don't know what the best options are.

Many people use compound, and compound is great. A few brands are 3M and Mothers. Mothers is very popular amongst car enthusiasts who look to polish chrome and aluminum.Like I said, this method works well. But what I like better is "Triple O Brillo" steel wool.

The stuff is great! it takes out all water marks, dirt, grime, tar, surface rust and won't scratch your chrome plating. It's safe on plastic or metal chrome plated finishes.

One think it's not recommended on is Aluminum. It will make your aluminum dull looking. The best bet for polishing aluminum is to use sand paper with grit ranges from 1000-2000 followed by a compound like mothers.

This process will give you a chrome like finish on your aluminum.

Brillo is easy to use. Remember to use a 000 or 0000 fine. Always rinse your finished chrome and surrounding areas that you worked on with soap and water.

This step is needed because as you clean and take off grime & water spots off of your chrome the steel wool pad will start to break down. The fine particles will sit on your part and if you get it lightly wet and leave it... you may have a little surface rust appear.

of those high priced cleaners or compounds either.

Try it! Here is an image below of what the pads look like. Be sure to watch the video above for a live example and share with your friends if you thought this post was helpful!

Could you do that on a car window to remove water spots?

@13tsosie It would be best to just buff out windows with compound.... we cover all of that on the site!

Thanks for the info but I tried it with the 000 steel wool and glass top stove cleaner and it worked! Looks like a brand new window.

I want to paint my truck flat black and wanted to ask you what type of paint I should go with?

@eyewarnedyou I haven't found ANY FINE SOS pads. It is a great way though... I usually rince the rims with car soap first if there extra dirty. Thanks for the comments!
