Rims Cleaning?

My rims are chrome and I have neglected them. I was not able to wash them after all winter with all of the salt. What is the best way to clean them up?

Eagle A2Z works pretty well at getting rid of built up brake dust and crud. Then hit them with some chrome polish.

For general cleaning I use simple green.

Simple green and a toothbrush to get rid of the brake dust and gunk, then a good application of Turtle Wax Chrome Polish with a soft cloth. You will be surprised how good they will look after you are done!

If they are real chrome and you have a build up of brake dust, use Easy Off oven cleaner, it was recommended to me by a Chrysler service manager years ago to get the wheels clean on my wifes Town and Country. It worked great.
