Record by record
4 records state a cause or a remedy. Each record is shown as short labels in the order fault → finding the cause → correction. Press a label to narrow to the records that state it.
Component named as the cause
A ribbon is as wide as the records that state both of its ends (only the commonest are drawn). A record that names several symptoms or components runs through each. Orange is records that say the fault came back or was not fixed. Results come from owners’ reports only; one that does not say is “result not stated”. None of this is a likelihood of a cause or a rate at which work succeeds.

Chromed Aluminum Wheels—Chemical Staining and Corrosion
1Fault
2Finding the cause
Possible causes
- Chemical staining mostly results from acid based cleaners; the stains are frequently milky, black or greenish.
- A second type of staining comes from road chemicals such as calcium chloride used for dust control on unpaved roads; it looks like small pitting.
- A third type comes from prolonged exposure to brake dust, which penetrates the chrome.
3Correction
Repair
- After cleaning, wax the wheel with ACDelco Cleaner Wax, P/N 88865218 (in Canada, 2675208), to protect it from brake dust.
- For milky stains from acidic cleaners, apply 3M Chrome and Metal Polish #39527 with a clean terry cloth towel; the staining diminishes as it is applied.

The numbers are as the document prints them. The name and the replacing number are what the pages of GMPartsGiant, a reseller of genuine parts and not GM, state. Aftermarket equivalents are not checked here (the links only search by number). Confirm the fit for the vehicle (VIN) before ordering.
Caution
- Do not use cleaning solutions containing hydrofluoric, oxalic and most other acids on chrome wheels (or any wheels).
- Any wheel cleaner must be thoroughly rinsed off the wheel with clean, clear water.
- The wheels must be cleaned before the polish is applied, to avoid scratching the wheel surface.
- The polish reduces the thickness of the chrome plating and, used incorrectly or excessively, may remove it altogether.
- On wheels spotted by road chemicals the procedure may improve the condition marginally but will not restore the finish or remove the pitting.
