detailing question
I have chrome rims on my TT and seem to never get them as clean as the dealer can. I am now using some spray from Griots Garage....But they just don't shine like I want them to.

There's actually a detailing section...Moe, Phil and some of the others can probably give you pretty good advice.

You have to use chrome polish. I believe Griot's has some.

Pick up some dedicated wheel cleaner like P21s Wheel Gel and then get a good chrome polish and some applicator pads.

Should be good after that!

+1...P21S is an excellent wheel cleaner that's safe. A good chrome polish will make them POP as well. I would actually clay them as well to start with a good foundation. Hope this helps.
