Record by record

2 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

    1. 1Fault

    2. 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, and looks like small pitting.
      • A third type results from prolonged exposure to brake dust that penetrates the chrome.
      • If the brake material sits on the wheel while exposed to moisture or salt, it corrodes the wheel beneath the chrome and leaves a pit or small blister.
    3. 3Correction

      Repair

      1. Remove heavy brake dust build-up with GM Chrome Cleaner and Polish, P/N 1050173 (in Canada 10953013).
      2. For milky stains from acidic cleaners, after washing and drying apply 3M Chrome and Metal Polish #39527 with a clean terry cloth towel; the staining diminishes as it is applied.

      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.
      • Stained wheels are not warrantable; most acid based cleaners permanently stain chrome wheels.
      • This polish reduces the thickness of the chrome plating and, if used incorrectly or excessively, may remove it altogether, exposing a less bright, brassy coloured sub-layer.
      • For spotting from road chemicals the procedure may marginally improve the condition but will not restore the finish or remove the pitting.
