Thanks

Chrome, if it`s really neglected, can tend to respond well to the acidic cleaners, like Mothers Wheel Mist Chrome/Wire, or some of the other brands of chrome-specific cleaners.
If you want to stay on the safe side, the new foaming wheel & tire cleaner from Mothers is very nice, but may need a light scrub with a brush followed by a strong spray nozzle.

Elbow grease.
I`ve had really good results with Megs All Wheel Cleaner, but like Salty said, you can`t forget the elbow grease.

Gloss-it 22oz Signature Wheel Gel 3 Pack (http://www.gloss-it.net/Glossit22ozSignatureWheelGel3Pack-idv-160-23.html)
You can cut it 2:1 - 4:1 or use it full strength. It requires agitation, but seldomly more than one application. I only use this anymore in part due to its safety for all wheel finishes and its "Godzilla Like Power" :)
