Chrome Wheel Care (if equipped)
Proper maintenance will protect chrome wheels from corrosion,
preserve wheel life and ensure a “like new” appearance for many years.
1. Wash chrome rims frequently. Use a mild detergent to rem ove any
salt, dirt, mud or grime. Never use abrasive cleaners on plated or
painted surfaces.
2. Polish the clean chrome wheels periodically. Use an automotive
grade chrome polish.
3. Routinely and liberally apply a weather resistant wax to each
polished chrome wheel. Choose a product suitable for chrome
finishes. Read and follow the product labels and instructions.
4. Chrome wheels exposed to road salt (or salt in the air in coastal
areas) are more susceptible to corrosion if not properly cleaned.
Clean chrome wheels more often if they’re exposed to salt or other
corrosive elements.
Removing Corrosion
If light rust is found on the chrome finish, use steel wool (#0000-OTT
grade) to remove it. Gently rub the af fected areas with the steel wool
until the corrosion has been removed. Clean and polish the wheel as
outlined above.
