Default Re: Rechrome of Cragar SS wheels

[ QUOTE ]
For now I have to use the wheels as is. Anyone have any suggestions for cleaning the chrome? I was going to go at it with 000 steel wool. The wheels are pretty good other than right by the lug holes.

I would not use the steel wool because if you get even one tiny piece of chrome braking off and caught in the steel wool, you will just create a ton of new scratches in the existing chrome. I ended up using Simichrome chrome polish and a lot of fluffy, towels to capture any tiny pieces of chrome flakes.

If you go here you can see what I did with my 1970 set:
