chrome won't crack or nothin' if i leave them in the garage over the winter, right?
..such a dumb question, but no one i know knows. *shrug*
gatta start somewhere.
I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

thanks, guys.
if they are tripple dipped, then no it shouldn't crack no matter what you do.... I'd buff em and throw some towels over them anyways just as a precaution...

Chrome Care
What you will need
-Chrome Polish (My favorite is 'Old No.7' from Ace Hardware, but any other chrome polish will work)
-Cloth applicator (Wal-Mart)
-Terry Towels (Wal-Mart)
-Big Towels or sheets (for protection over the winter)
Procedure
-Clean the chrome surface with ONLY soap, water, and a wash mitt. Chrome is very delicate to harsh chemicals.
-Dry the surface off with a terry towel
-Apply a little chrome polish to the terry applicator and rub in
-For rims, I'd do both the inside and outside of the rim to increase the shine
-Once the polish hazes a little, buff off with a clean Terrry Towel
Notes
-Some people believe you may PROTECT chrome rims with a wax or sealant. First off, wax melts over temps of 170*. If you drive this car normally, it'll melt right off into the air.
-I have read too many articles that suggests that chrome pits if you seal it with a paint sealant.
-To keep looking great, wash the chrome surface when you wash your car and polish it as well. You can get away with just washing and drying for about a month. But if you want the ultimate chrome shine, keep the surface polished.
-To store them, put down a sheet or towel on the ground, then stack the rims with a towel or sheet between each rim. Temperature doesn't matter, a garage or basement would be just fine.
