chrome wheel polisher

ive got 20" bazo wheels as you can see in my pics. i need to polish them up: there is dirt/grime/grease/ caked on the wheels and ive tried different cleaners to clean em up. started with just soap and water and didnt even make a dent. any suggestions on what polish i can use that will make them shine like new? ive thought about a pressure wash. i have a waxing machine so watever product it is i can use with the machine. thanks for any help fellas

I have had good results using a citrus based degreaser. For polishing I have always used turtle wax chrome polish. It cleans and polishes to a great shine.

Hand job. You can use a machine if you like.

i use meguiar's nxt metal polysh (that's how they spell the polish, lol)....if you use a machine, be damn careful....1 tiny piece of sand will destroy a wheel rather quickly.....

If you use #0000 or finer (#00000) steel wool with chrome polish/cleaner, it will not scratch the chrome and give just enough muscle to clean just about any contaminent including rust- just use light to moderate pressure with lots of polish and you'll be fine.
