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.

Re: Chrome rim cleaning
You may have aluminum rims that are polished, which would explain the
corrosion. Easiest thing to do would be to try and stick a magnet to the
wheel. The vast majority of chromed wheels are steel. Chrome will
corrode from acid also, but not normally that fast, unless the dog was
drinking some hydrochloric acid. :)
