Coca Cola used to be good as a rust remover. Spray bottle, some coke, a brush, a rag?

Rust

OOOO steel wool, mothers mag and aluminum polish, elbow grease. Use Q-tips to get in the tiny spaces. Wax afterward to help ward off rust.

Does your car have a " scissor " type jack......that will work if you block the other two wheels......Be advised the BRP tool kit does....NOT... contain a socket to remove the lug nuts .......good luck....Mike :thumbup:

you need a ph neutral wheel cleaner(any auto parts store will have just read label), hose off then use a
chrome wheel polish. I sell & use xtreem at my store but never dull works the same. then i recommend a
high temp wheel wax to protect the chrome.
we repair, clean and polish chrome wheels at my place all the time and this is what i find works the best.

Gotta say..!!

your best bet is still going to be to remove the wheels and get to all areas or it is comming back soon. Like Mike said you can use your car jack to do each wheel one at a time. You need to clean the bolts well and the insides of the nuts...:thumbup:

yes pulling the wheels off is best & easiest way to clean but process is the same only difference is
you then can clean the backside of wheels

Did they start putting them in the 2014 tool kits because the 2013 sure does not have one?

There are two sockets in the tool kit but neither fit the front wheel lug nuts.
