Yeah I was trying to think of the name of that stuff, but my tired, old
brain failed me. That stuff works very good.

Re: Chrome rim cleaning
 

The steel wool won't scratch if you use #0000
Once you get it all nice and shiny, then apply a coat of good wax and it may
help prevent corrosion.

Also, you should apply a load of double ott buckshot to the gawd damn dog.
Maybe even do that first.

Are you SURE the rims are chrome, not aluminum? Seems funny that dog pee
would corrode like that.

I dont think so. #0000 steel wool is VERY VERY fine.

Page 3 has pictures of my old Mustang, with 16" chrome pony wheels. Used
#0000 steel wool every week and they looked very very nice.

Re: Chrome rim cleaning
 

Nope, not 100% sure either way. They look chrome tho, that's for sure. The
wool worked for the most part. Unfortunately the dog is about 100kms from
where I am right now as I was on a roadtrip when it happened. Next summer
I'll pay him a visit and pee on him.
