I try to keep them waxed but I need to know what can I use to remove the rust and not mess up the chrome anymore than it already is . Also , is there something better than wax to keep it from rusting or atleast getting worse ? | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 | Simichrome Polish will remove surface rust from chrome. The stuff is amazing. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 54 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 54 | cletis is right! Simichrome Polish is great. Yes that area always seems to be a problem and on the last set of wheels I had it was an ongoing cleaning process. I would have to focus around the lugs everytime I cleaned my wheels. I finally snapped on dog dish caps to hide the dullness before I switched to Vette Rallys. Chrome polish and elbow grease is a short answer.

Oxalic Acid works great...I believe that's the active ingredient in Bar Keeper's Friend. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 90 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 90 | I have used Aluminum Brightener from LANDA and man, it's night and day difference with very little work and it does nothing to the chrome but really shines up the metal. I did my grille that way, and it took all the rust off and brought out what was left of the chromed grille! It has always worked. Note: Need to use gloves when handling, don't splash on skin and use a long handled brush only for that use, this stuff is really tough on rust so be careful.
