Chrome Wheels
I’ve got something on my chrome wheels that won’t come offf. It’s clear and coarse. I’ve tried just everything. Please advise if you can provide me with a solution.

Have you tried some chrome polish or maybe a little WD-40?

If it's hard, you could use a wood or a piece of plastic to try to chip it off.
Depending on what it is, how big an area, etc., you may make it look worse after working on it.

Always start with the mildest cleaner you have and if that does not work move up to the next more aggressive cleaner.
Always make small steps in how abrasive the cleaner is.
ie: wax, wax with cleaner, and continue up the abrasive ladder until the substance is gone.
