I've tried a lot of stuff but nothing has beat turtle wax chrome polish/cleaner, been using it since 1998. Love the stuff. Removes rust and shines chrome like a mirror. A bottle is five bucks and lasts all year.

I wash my bike weekly, use windex for cleaning chrome, you can't make chome shinier, can you? Sometimes I spray pig spit on chrome for extra protection. Just keep them clean, you don't need anything special for cleaning.

Out of curiosity are any household cleaners safe on chrome (spoke) wheels and chrome pipes? I've heard of people using 409 on all the chrome, but I'm not sure and I don't want to risk it without asking first. I have 409 multi-surface at home I'm not sure if its the same as the original 409
I looked it up, and it is perfectly safe to use on chrome and really took the spots, gunk, bugs and left it a brilliant, new gleam.If you can't tell, I was very happy with the results.
Not sure if you can tell in this pic, but you should have seen it before.

No it works great! But Copper wool is a much better idea as copper is softer than chrome so it wont scratch. Great for removing boot marks!
That being said I use Never Dull
