I have tried most of these and there is not much in them, but Wicked has given me the best results and it seems to hold the shine. I was put on to it by a truck driver who uses it on his alloy wheels.

I am sure most of us have more than one bottle of cleaner laying around.

the wheels DO NOT have a coating on them and HD recomends waxing them every 2 weeks, wonder if you can chrome them?
