I've been using Adams All purpose cleaner on the chrome. Much like simple green, you don't need to leave it on very long. Then I hit it with the Adams Metal Polish #2.

I agree... Both Adams Metal Polish #1 and #2 are a Chemical cut, not an Abrasive cut.
#1 for the dirty work, and #2 for continued maintenance. Good luck with your Chrome...

I have Black painted wheels. I've been using the Brilliant Spray Glaze for a continued protective coating. It seems to be working well with the salt and junk from the roads.
I apply it every time I wash the wheels. It keeps the bumpers (chrome) shiney too.

i used meguiars hot rims chrome cleaner and it worked really well. washed the rims with soap and water when i ded the truck, then you spray the meguiars on and let is sit for about 30 seconds then spray it off. it had mine shining really good.
