Chrome Waxing?

[Domas]

Do you wax chrome trim, like chrome grilles, moldings etc. for better protection? Is the regular non-abrasive paint glaze wax suitable, or there are some special waxes for chrome?

What if I use the same wax for paint and for chrome?



(by saying chrome, I mean not only chrome plated metal, but also chromed plastic parts).



Thanks in advance

I either use what ever I'm using on the paint (wax or sealant) or opti-seal.

I use Ultima PGP same as I do on the rest of the finish.

Ditto..just use what you use on paint.



Personally, I like to use an AIO such as Klasse, JW

Yeah, I use everything from Collinite to KSG to Souveran on my chrome. But I'm kinda leaning towards the more durable stuff just so I don't have to do it as often.



I even arrested the (admitedly very slight, just getting started) peeling of "chromed plastic" with many (~12) layers of KSG! That was on chip-initiated damge to the Jag's upper grill, and it's still fine after at least five years.

If you (Domas) are speaking of chrome plated metal then us Collinite #850

I usually take some #0000 steel wool to it to get the big stuff gone, then follow up with some light polish, cleaner wax, or even an AIO, then put whatever sealant/wax I feel like at the time.

Regular wax works just fine. I also use the more durable stuff so it'll last longer (Collinite 845).
