Any good metal polish should work. On the chrome some recommend 0000 steel wool but I heard and tried using aluminum foil as the applicator. It works really well and doesn't scratch as it's soft enough. If the wheels are steel a wire brush & sand paper should do the job and CASCO has rattle cans of touch up paint that you can match the wheels to the body color. Good taping is required to keep it off the tires.I just inherited a 57 T bird, It is in need of a full wash/detail. The chrome is rust free and just needs to be polished. Can anyone reccomend a tried and true product that is safe? Im also looking for something to remove some light corrosion on the rims and also clean polish etc...
Just get some chrome polish,for the chrome parts. Not knowing what kind of wheels,you have. That's hard to tell you what to use. They have different wheel cleaners.I just inherited a 57 T bird, It is in need of a full wash/detail. The chrome is rust free and just needs to be polished.

Simichrome paste is good stuff. Working on the chrome of my '64 with it now...I just inherited a 57 T bird, It is in need of a full wash/detail. The chrome is rust free and just needs to be polished.

Elbow grease is your friend. Just be patient. There are many off the shelf cleaners and polishers that will work for you. Have not heard of simichrome but if the bikers like it it must be good. They can be even more fanatic about bling than us 4 wheelers.Thanks for the quick responses, I'll try the aluminum foil (Ward 57) - Ive seen great reviews on the Simichrome paste, apparently takes some elbow grease but well worth it, let me know how it go's (Red Drop Top). I'm running "T 1015ABK Wire Wheel With Black Center 15in" for the rims. Goldwing I believe they are steel but if you can recommend anything tried and true let me know.
