The chrome rims on my daily have some staining on them.  If you rub really hard it comes off.  Looks a lot like a water stain but it is not.  I think it is just from use.  What do you guys use for cleaning chrome rims?

Are they chrome or paint? Big difference. If they are chrome Autosovol will be your best friend.

I'll second the Autosol, its also the absolute best aluminum cleaner there is bar none!

Thanks Rochie and Chris.  What a product this is.  Here are the before and after shots.  This was probably the worst spot on the rims.  It was after I washed and dried them with a car wash product.  No idea what is on them, thinking it is just road grime.

After using Autosol

Just for funnzies I did a small spot on my trailer fender.  I have never washed this trailer, and it is about 2 years old now.  The small spot was after 2 rounds of Autosol.  No plans to do the whole thing, just wanted to try and see how it would work on dull alum.  The rags were black with alum tarnish afterwards.

Toss that on those fenders with a buffer Martin and they'll look like you've chromed them! This is how we kept fuel tanks and wheels looking good on big trucks!
This is my buddy's young lad getting a little education a few years back on his tanks in the spring..
