avgs400 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I recently bought my car from the previous owner and when I started inspecting the rims I see chrome flaking off a lot. What do I do to get this fixed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love-lexus Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 The previous owner did not clean it regularly, that is for sure. You need a clean rag and epoxy. Also, I was reading this article, https://www.toolazine.com/best-rust-proofing-inhibitor-spray-cars-prevent-scratches-review-buyer-guide/ it might help you, too.

Bykfixer Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Mine are flaking somewhat on a two of the four. I'll probably scratch the loose stuff off with a stiff plastic bristle bathtub type brush, clean the rims with Bar Keepers Friend to remove oxidation and spray with an engine clear coat. The Bar Keepers Friend is applied as a dry-ish paste and use an old tooth brush. It's a mild acid safe for alloy and alluminum wheels and it works great. Someday if the mood strikes I'll have them powder coated if I don't end up finding a nice set at a junkyard. Lots of crashed cars at junkyards have nice parts.
