What to use for HRE rims?

[NonStopReaper]

I have a set of HRE 540 Rims on my car and it is chromed ,it really needs a re-polishing. I was wondering on what poducts, method to use to get it's luster back.

I've had excellent results maintaining the chrome lips on my HRE wheels using Adam's two step polishes. It's safe even for clear coated surfaces and removes easily which is a big plus!

Nothing too abrasive.

Mothers billet polish period!

First we need to be sure that the HRE wheels are in fact Chromed.

Most HRE wheels are Polished Aluminum.

The method & products used to bring back the shine will be different for each.

The Adam's product is safe for both aluminum and chrome along with other materials. And no, it has no abrasives.

I would call HRE's service department with your serial numbers and find out exactly which finish you have on your wheels first.

yea chrome would be kinda odd, my 540's are polished aluminum

I've used all sorts of non-abrasive cleaners and goop
+1 to either Adams or Mothers products

Highly recommend that you work on the wheels off the car, some of the wheel goop out there is bad for paintjobs.

Not to mention their standard finish is a clear powdercoat over any finish...

its probably polished allum.
