I had quite a bit of grime and dirt on the chrome lip of my wheels. I used Armor All Triple Action wheel cleaner on them but a good hard scrubbing with a rag/towel is not enough to remove the dirt/grime... Is there any type of brush material I could use on the rims that would not damage the chrome?

Is it imperative that I rotate my new directional tires every 5K miles (to coincide with each oil change) or can I go every 10K? Common sense would tell me to rotate every 5k but I was just curious, never owned direcitonal tires before... I know you can only rotate front to back and didn't...
