What are some good products and techniques for cleaning neglected chrome wheels?

I had a bent wheel, and after receiving my replacement, i really notice how brownish the other three wheels really are... :wall

I used the Mothers All wheel & tire cleaning foam, and Mothers Chrome polish... still pretty nasty...

0000 steel wool if you have some rust. then a good metal polish PB PP2 is a good one:D
 
The Mothers products are good products.

If the wheels have been neglected, the results may be the best you're going to get regardless of product.

There is no miracle product out there. Sometimes we buy, buy and buy and end up with the same looks.

I learned that lesson on the chrome exhaust tips on my wife's car. After trying three products, (one hype over the other) they still look like they did in the beginning.
 
The strongest products on chrome are acid based. Mothers has a special wheel cleaner for chrome wheels.
 
Wash, Light mist with APC,( work the APC), Rinse , clay bar (and work that too with lube), followed by Pr Polish 2 (and work that also by hand or PC if there is room.) hats what I did on some Benz rims that were really brown but pitted rusty. Cant do anything about the deep piited stuff but they really shined after i did them this summr.
 
Meg's Hot Rims Chrome wheel cleaner is a good product. I love using NXT on chrome wheels to shine them up after you get them clean. I have used Pro Polish but IMO NXT brings a better shine on chrome.
