Chrome Care Guide

Keep chrome wheel skins and simulators mirror-bright for years.

Chrome finishes headline WheelCovers.Com's catalog — from the year's top chrome wheel skins to stainless simulators. Chrome rewards routine and punishes neglect:

The Routine

1. Wash weekly with pH-neutral car soap; never household degreasers, which strip protective layers.
2. Dry immediately — water spots etch chrome in hard-water regions.
3. Polish quarterly with a dedicated chrome polish to remove micro-oxidation.
4. Seal before winter — wax or sealant blocks salt, the #1 chrome killer per the seasonal care article.

Never Do This

• Steel wool or abrasive pads (permanent haze).
• Acid-based wheel cleaners on plated ABS skins.
• Ignoring pits — once plating breaches, corrosion spreads beneath.
