Chrome - if you've ever seen a brilliant shine on a wheel with a mirror like finish, you were looking at chrome. Although a chrome wheel looks great when clean, they are very hard to maintain and keep looking new. Chrome is easily damaged by brake dust and road debris. Use a netrelized acid cleaner like IronX to remove brake dust and then a very mild wheel cleaner that's pH balanced (P21S Polishing Soap)
Note: DO NOT use a netrelized acid cleaner on chrome that is compromised

I was wondering where you buy the Sonax and Iron X stuff? Do you have to get them online? And I was wondering do they have to be rinsed off with water? I live in a condo complex and we don't have yard hoses to rinse things off with. Is there an other way to clean rims?

Waterless Wash
[And I was wondering do they have to be rinsed off with water? I live in a condo complex and we don't have yard hoses to rinse things off with. Is there an other way to clean rims? ]
Optimum Polymer Technologies ( ONR) have set the standard in waterless washing by using encapsulating polymers and surfactants to safely remove dirt/grime without causing surface scratching.
Waterless polymer based systems do not require pre-wetting the surfaces. A combination of polymers and surfactant cleaners safely removes dirt and grime and leaves a glossy protective finish. The polymers and surfactants used in these non rinse washes have the capability to bond to dirt particles and act as a barrier between the dirt particles and the paint. The grime and dirt is then trapped in the surfactant, protecting the paint finish without the need to use large amounts of water to flush the dirt off the vehicle.
Used as a winter car wash or in areas that have hosepipe ban, water usage restrictions, or where a water supply is not readily available (apartments, car shows, etc; cleans and protects while minimising water usage, 100% environmentally safe and it reduces water usage to a fraction of a conventional car wash, 1- oz ONR per 2- gallons of water to wash the entire car. For best results swirl-free results, use Optimum's high lubricity wash Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine
Simply mist diluted 1:3 with distilled water on to micro fibre towel and then wipes off residue. Fold your towel into quarters and rotate to expose a fresh surface for best results. It dries instantly and doesn't leave behind a greasy film like other products. Utilizing special cleaning agents you can gently clean your entire car. It quickly lifts and separates oils, dust, dirt and other contaminants.
The substantive polymers help suspend contaminants so they can be removed safely. It also provides meaningful protection on every surface you apply it to. For use on - vinyl, plastic, paint, metal, rubber and etc. finish will look clean and new with minimal effort.
To remove salt and road grit or to clean really soiled surfaces I would suggest a pre-rinse to remove the larger dirt particles first before being washed. Then use the ONR concentrates or the traditional two-bucket wash method or if you have a pressure washer available to remove the larger dirt / salt particles
