Default Cleaning Chrome

The wheels on my Vette are the first set of chrome wheels I have ever had on a vehicle and I find them a pain to properly clean. My question is "what is the best type of cloth to use on them?" I tried using a towel, but it leaves water marks and streaks on the wheels. So far my best friend has been paper towels. Believe it or not they have been giving me the best results and a nice shine.

On chrome and painted wheels I only use microfiber towels. But make sure that those towels become dedicated to wheels only and not the paint on your car. Also, I carry a wheel sealant that makes cleaning them easier.

I took your advice and tried using a microfiber towel today on my wheels and I was very impressed with the results. Now I just have to buy some of that sealant from you. Thanks for the help.
