    grab some of this
    Car Care Products / Speciality Brands / Exterior / Metal & Chrome Polish / Purple Metal Polish

    and one of these
    Car Care Products / Mothers' / Car Accessories / Buffing Pads / Mini Power Ball

    and get into it. at the very least go the purple polish and do it by hand with a clean soft microfibre cloth. using any harder polish will put very fine scratches into the chrome
