should be able to clean them with just soap and water but some polish stuff might be a little better, you can't really "polish" chrome though, its too hard (as in tough, not difficult to do)...you just clean it well
if they're clearcoated it might be discolored

Yes I know I just gave him the name of that stuff. We use it on all my old man's chrome on his truck (IH 9900IX), and that stuff even takes out small pits and rust deposits.
