I have waterspots on my chrome-plated rims that I can`t seem to get out with Mother`s Chrome Polish. Any suggestions?

best stuff ever. I use it on my motorcycle, always have. it gets the chrome to look 8 feet deep. I love it, and its tons cheaper than AIO...

Ok I will let all you laugh at me... On chrome rims for the last 25 years I have used Windex window cleaner - not much protection but sure makes them shine. I now use NTX window cleaner and even produces a better shine than Windex. :nixweiss

Actually this is one of the best ways that I have found for maintaining chrome that is in good condition (ie no pits, waterspots, etc)....Great shine..little effort...

I use Poorboy`s Polish with Carnuba for all of my chrome polishing. Great cleaning ability and leaves good protection behind. Just my $0.02.

FWIW- when I entered concours cars I`d re-polish the chrome with a glass cleaner (Invisible Glass) cleans /shines with no white reside on plastic etc
