Best way to maintenance chromed steel rims?
A friend told me that simple silicone grease would do the job.
Is he right? If so - how to implement?
Or is there another preparation, better?
Asking for a friend who has a 2017 Royal Enfield.
Thanks in advance.

I have no idea, this is what he suggested to this friend with the Enfield.
That's why I'm asking here.
Does not this chrome polish lowers the thickness of the coating over time?

To clean them I use chrome polish or Brasso. Brasso works best but don't rub it too hard, it will take the chrome off believe it or not.
I was told a long time ago, and it works, that if chrome is basically clean then you just use windex on it to wipe off any smudges, dirt or dust. It works.
