rust on chrome

Hi,

In the past I have used Navel jelly to remove rust on chrome. It is really just a solution with Fosforic(sp) acid. I picked up a bottle of it at the local hardware store.

I have also used car wax on chrome wheels to slow rust but it always seems to come back sooner or later.

Good luck,
Lee

95flareside is right :-staun I use S.O.S. pads with the blue soap impregnated, however don't use on aluminum only steel wheels.
