Default Rim Cleaning

Even though the weather is ****ty here i still decided to clean my chrome rims every weekend, and its about that time. So i was wondering is windex a good tool to clean/shine chrome rims with, and/or what is other good products to clean and shine up chrome rims?

i just hose off my rims and wipe em dry....
and if its gunkie road tar i use some GOO GONE to clean off that junk...
then use alittle wax on em... no problems yet..


i cannt remember this stuff that i found before but it was some like liquid that you put on chrome or billet wheels.... and liquids would just run off the rims cause it sealed them and since most dirt would just run off it would be easy to clean by just hosing them off
