Chrome Wheel Protection

2002

I have new chrome wheels that look perfect and shine like the sun. What is the best way to protect the chrome wheels to keep them looking like new as long as possible? Should I wax them or is there some special coating that will help them resist stains or scratches?

Best regards,

Wax is usually a good idea, but I wouldn't put any other coating on chrome. If it's good plating, and frequently washed and waxed, it should stay bright for decades.
