    What should you do with chrome wheels to keep them in good shape and a nice shine?
    I just my eagle 185's and would appreciate any tips on caring for chrome wheels.

    I just use windex on mine. It does the job.

        Wash 'em, windex 'em, and use some furniture wax to finish the job.

          Sorry I'm not about to go pay for crap when I can just use stuff from around the house. Windex is perfectly fine and makes my wheels shine just as good as any wax.

            It might. But by windex not being a wheel cleaner it will make your wheels get dirty faster because all the stuff sticks to them.

                Windex works fine. And its cheap and you usually have some around the house. Thats what we use at work too.
