MAINTENANCE

Cleaning and Storage

Chrome Wheel Care (if equipped)

Proper maintenance will protect chrome wheels from corrosion,
preserve wheel life and ensure a “like new” appearance for many years.
Chrome wheels exposed to road salt (or salt in the air in coastal areas)
are more susceptible to corrosion if not properly cleaned. Clean chrome
wheels more often if they're exposed to salt or other corrosive elements.

1. Wash chrome wheels frequently. Use a mild detergent. Never use

abrasive cleaners on plated or painted surfaces.

2. Rinse well with clear water. Soap, detergents, salt, dirt, mud and

other elements can cause corrosion.

3. Polish the clean chrome wheels periodically. Use an automotive

grade chrome polish.

4. Routinely and liberally apply a weather resistant wax to each

polished chrome wheel. Choose a product suitable for chrome
finishes. Read and follow the product labels and instructions.

Removing Corrosion

If light rust is found on the chrome finish, use steel wool (#0000-OTT
grade) to remove it. Gently rub the affected areas with the steel wool
until the corrosion has been removed. Clean and polish the wheel as
outlined above.
