How to Maintain Your Semi Truck Chrome Like a Pro
Chrome accessories make your truck stand out — but only if you keep them clean and protected. Here’s how to maintain your semi truck chrome so it always looks show-ready.
1. Wash Regularly
Road grime, salt, and bugs can damage chrome if left too long. Wash your chrome parts at least once a week with mild soap and water.
2. Avoid Abrasive Cleaners
Never use harsh chemicals or rough pads on chrome. They can scratch the surface and dull the shine.
3. Dry Completely
Water spots can leave marks on chrome. After washing, dry with a soft microfiber towel.
4. Use Chrome Polish
Apply a high-quality chrome polish every month to protect the surface and enhance shine.
5. Inspect for Rust
Even stainless steel can develop surface rust if neglected. Treat small spots quickly to prevent spreading.
With a little care, your Peterbilt, Kenworth, or Freightliner chrome accessories will look brand new for years to come.
