i find soapy water cleans them up nice but they wont stay that way for long but theres not much you can do about it unless you clean them everyday

read this regardign triple chrome,

http://www.nmfrc.org/crarchive/Dec02a.cfm

not sure about what the wheel place says about ROH though, I would ask around regarding that or ring ROH directly to verify whether they use the triple chrome process.

Cheers. That made a good read :)

I just found the best chrome alloy cleaner i have ever used on the weekend.

I bought chemtech mag shiner. spray on spray off.

I live on a gravel road so my alloys were dirty as ****. This stuff just made them like brand new. I have to admit though they did need a little rub with a sponge, not quite spray on spray off, but i was fully done within half an hour.

I was really scheptical but damn impressed once ive used it. even if the spray nozzle broke half way thorugh. lol

Just in case anybody is interested in finding a chrome alloy cleaner that works well thats my 2c

autosol and a little elbow grease works wonders on chrome, will work on alloy but requires a lot more effort. keep in mind that like most polishes its mildly abrasive (thats how they work).

i use autosol on my chromies, gets em lookn brand new, best **** ever.
u can also use toothpaste if ur a cheap ****, lol. its not as abrasive as autosol, but does just as good a job. not that shitty gel stuff btw, just the normal white paste.
