I really like those wheels. If I were to change it up, those would be the wheels I went with.

Cleaner wax keeps chrome looking nice.

I've found that it works better than chrome polish because it has abrasives and it also protects.

Hit it with a clay bar before you wax. I heard this Nanoskin wash mitt is just as good. A little pricy, but you get a lot more uses out of it than a clay bar kit.
