Chrome rim cleaning

I have some really nice chrome rims on my Jeep. Long story short, a dog peed
on one of my rims and now it's corroded/rusted where he peed. I can't polish
it out with normal cleaner. Any suggestions?

Thx

#0000 Steel wool. Works like a champ!

Will this scrape my rim at all and expose it to the elements? I live in the
salt belt ...not sure if these will rust once I get under the coating.

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.

OK thanks for the tip Carl. I'll go pick some up and give'r a scrub.

Damn dog! Next time I'm gonna go pee on his doghouse.

I used to use brillo on chrome years back to remove rust
Don't have anything chrome anymore!

Try Flitz. Quite remarkable stuff.

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.

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.
