How to save your aluminum and chrome from road salt

I'm in upstate NY. Keeping it clean in the winter is hopeless. Even on nice days they're out there spraying salt brine. I deal with it in the spring.

 

Yup, I ran a set for 5 years up here with no effort put into them whatsoever and they held up OK. They are a great "good from far" solution if you aren't too picky

 

That's them after 6 years, actually. Decent for sure but I would not put them on my Pete

 

How do you hook a trailer to that and not ram those tires through your sleeper cab?

 

That was right before I left to deliver the truck to its new owner, along with all the spare junk I had kicking around for it

 

Ceramic coating them does a pretty good job, but the more you use citrol on that or any other cleaner the faster it degrades also. I just put brand new high polish wheels on about three weeks ago, and they looked so good when I put them on I am not looking forward to this spring and how they look.

 

the best prevention, winter is only fun if W2 or under warranty. road salt got steel coming apart like minecraft dirt
