What's a good metal/chrome polish for my rims and/or the inside of my throttle body? Thanks.

Turtle Wax ICE, good for all surfaces, even the back window, but not recommended for the front windshield.

blue magic, nothing else needed....
it looks cheap and you've probably seen it a million times, and never even thought about it, but a mothers powercone and blue magic is THE BEST polish for any metal.

I read the title of this thread and a whole different scenario popped in my head. Word association is a biznitch.

:hysterical:Chris, your pics on Matt's callout thread got me goin' haha. Thanks for the input guys. I had one rim that was dull as shit and it was like night and day when the polish hit it. I didn't realize polishing was such a pain in the ass lol. I'll have to finish up in the morning... I should win an award at the car show as long as they have a "Best looking after your girlfriend keyed the shit outta your car". I'll throw up some pics later that you all can say you don't care about lol. Again, I appreciate the input.:ty:

You can also try one of those mothers cone thingys. Should make it a bit easier than doing it by hand.

I was in your area today and well I stopped by your place. lol
Seriously
I usually take the wheel/tire off the vehicle.
Wash it thoroughly inside and outside. Scrubbing the brake dust off and using purple power or simple green if need be.
I than use NEVADULL and scrub the entire wheel (inside and out)
Get a clean cloth or microfiber towel and wipe the wheel clean.
Than I clean it with a NON AMONNIA base glass cleaner and am good to go for awhile.
That is how I kept my wheels on my red s-10 I had clean. Looked good. I might have used a chrome/wheel polish before the glass cleaner. But I am unsure of that. Usually nevadull does a standup job.

Alright stalker dude:joke:. Next time, stop in and have a beer or something lol. Lord knows I owe you at least that. Unfortunately I procrastinated and all I can do is polish the outside before MB... However, I will take your advice and use it on Sunday to at least get it clean and make it easier for the next time.
