I read in a watercooled magazine to use car polish. Apparently the meatl polishes are too harsh and leave the alloy raw and porous, making it dull quicker. Haven't really tried it though.....

Windex! A lot of the chrome wheel cleaners have chemicals that eat in to and damage the chrome finish on the wheels.
