Aftermarket Wheel Care Help

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?

Try some of the dedicated metal/chrome polishes: Mothers, NeverDull, etc. A harsh wheel cleaner might cause the problem, and remove your clearcoat. After you have them clean, protect them with any sealant about once/month.

On some heavy Satisfied ceramic brake dust on a set of 03 Honda Civic EX alloys, I used straight Simple Green and some dollar store "Scotch-brite style" pads, similar to the ones below. Note that these are not even close to how aggressive real Scotch-brite pads are.
