Default Shining Chrome wheels

What does the best job on shining up dull chrome wheels and other chrome on your vehicle. My 1994 had been sitting for awhile and all the chrome needs a good shining?

Thanks,

i use it to get the build up off then i use like windex to shine them, even when i have a little rust on the bumper it takes the stain off with a little work.

I'd start w/ CLR, wash w/ a nylon brush. Rinse w/ warm water mixed w/ baking soda. Followed w/ a polish or your choice. Neverdull polishing wad is a little to abrasive for my taste. Simichrome, if you can find it! Made in Germany by Happich http://www.competitionchemicals.com/...ome/index.aspx

Engine degreaser in the spray can works good too. And I'll throw in another vote for nevr dull for a finishing touch. Magic in a can. I've never used it on chrome wheels, but I've used it on chrome bumpers and was pretty happy
