H8R Proof Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 Looking for feedback - anyone used this for their chrome wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 You dont want to use it on the chrome wheels because of the possibility that they're clearcoated, it can damage the clearcoat. But it works great on real chrome and metal. Not really applicable on the car unless you're talking about a licence plate bracket or something, as nothing is real chrome its plated ABS plastic. Basically only use products to clean the wheels that say "safe for clearcoat". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H8R Proof Posted August 17, 2003 Author Share Posted August 17, 2003 Thank you for "clearing" that up - ha ha I would have blindly bought this. Glad I asked here before I did. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 No problemo ;) Do you know if your chrome wheels are aftermarket or not? If they're aftermarket then they may not be clearcoated. You can tell by the Lexus symbol, it wont be quite a Lexus symbol... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW03ES Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 It'll just look different, kind of winged like when compared to the other emblems on the car. This is because the company that chromed the wheels don't have the rights to the symbol and had to create their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
