    chrome care

    what do you use on chrome rims like a spray on cleaner to keep custom chrome rims clean, something that is "safe" won`t spot, etch etc. basically just to get off light brake and road dust.

    ok thank you

    on the top of the line product wheel wash do you dilute this cause these rims i clean just get a very light dusting on them from the roads and braking etc. i doubt i need something super heavy duty, its not like im cutting through thick dirt and tough dust

    also while were talking about top of the line, can you sugest some other good products from them, im putting in another order with them, and want some more goodies. hi temp products etc?

    I can only speak of the Grape Tire Dressing since it`s the only Hi Temp product I have tried. I like it a lot! I have also used the Trade Secret wax and it`s a killer on dark colors. You can get it at TOTL or Premium Auto Care. I just got thru placing my first order with him and he is a really cool guy, very helpful too. Thanks, again Dwayne.

    A lot of people say that the Grape Tire Dressing is a hi gloss, but I haven`t found that and I use it straight. You can dilute it with water to decrease the gloss from what I have been told. I prefer it straight. For me, it just gives a deep black, what I would consider a medium shine. I imagine several thin coats would give a more glossy look. I"ll have to try that sometime, I just bought a gallon of the stuff and I like it best of anything I have tried yet. Hope this helps.

    Light Cut is a nice product. As a matter of fact, I`ve used the HEavy Cut with good success also.
