I use just plain soap and water with a sponge on my chromies. If you have built up residue use a non abrasive wheel cleaner then wash that off with the soap and water. If you want them to shine use carnuba wax or the same wax you use on your car for extra protection. What brand of rims do you have?

i posted the same question and the warm water and soap idea really works great. I tried it and was very pleased. Someone else recommended "blue magic", I haven't tried it yet so I can't give you specifics about it, but you might try it. Is "mothers" wheel polished used for chrome rims????

I am glad the warm water and soap idea worked for you...Dont forget to apply a coat of wax to the rim after you dry them...to give them a brilliant shine and to protect them from the bad elements of the weather.
