Use a product called never dull--you can pick it up at most auto parts stores.

Mr Clean Magic Eraser and a little water removes burnt on boot marks from chrome pipes so it will probably work here.

Turtle wax chrome polish works VERY well.

Any of the products listed above, applied with 0000 steel wool. Now before you say thats crazy. Read the bag at any hardware store, walmart or anywhere that sells steel wool. 0000 steel wool is designed specifically to clean and polish chrome. Polishes are chemical cleaner/polisher, steel wool is a mechanical cleaner/polisher. If the chemicals wont cut it, you need to step up to the next step. I worked in a body shop for years, steel wool is the trick for chrome.

The more zeros, the finer it is. 4 zero and 5 zero are very fine and won't scratch. 3 zero is for removing more than you got and isn't necessary.
