Default What's the best chrome wheel cleaner????

I have a set of chrome ZR1s that the previous owner did not clean very well. There are no pitts, or flaking, but they have that brake dust that does not just wipe off, what's the best cleaner for this???? Thanks!!!!

Turtle Wax Chrome Polish. Put it on like wax. Works great on brake dust that doesn't come off with soap and water. Pick it up at O'Riley's

Zaino Claybar & Zaino Z-2 the Zr1's with numerous coats then you can just wash the rims & Zaino Z-6 gloss enhancher to keep the rims shined. The inside of the rims I use Castrol all wheel cleaner & soft scrubing brush. To eliminate the brake dust get ceramanic brake pads. I use to clay my Zr1's down once a month do to the original semi-metallic brake pads to keep brake dust off.

Mothers works excellent also. It is kinda like a wax...goes on...hardens and you whipe it off. works awesome!
