Consistent cleaning, polishing and waxing is the key to minimizing the corrosive effects of road salt. The addition of a coat of wheel wax to a clean and polished wheel is the final, essential step to protecting it from winter conditions.
Caring for chrome wheels is cumulative. This means that the more you wash and polish your wheels, the easier they will be to take care and the less road gunk and grime they will collect.
Wash your wheels frequently during winter. Use one of the various chrome-specific cleaners on the market. After cleaning them, apply dedicated chrome wheel polish. Last but not least, wax your wheels with a dedicated chrome wheel wax. Completing this three-step process about twice per month is a good schedule during the winter months.
