Default Cleaning Crome Rims?

I have just got my hands on a set of crome rims. They have a little over spray on them. Whats the best way to remove the over spray without scraching the crome?

If it's light over spray, try to get a clay bar and do it like that. Then get your windex and clean them up, before you lay a nice coat of wax on them.

use the steam bullet! i've seen this thing in action. actually it wasn't a steam bullet but just like it. it will leave your chrome amazily clean/shiny.

on my first car I had it painted and I had a fart can on it (it was an older mazda), it had overspray after painting, I used acetone and it wiped right off not rubbing. I dont know if its safe on crome though. Make sure ur in a well ventalated area though its some strong stuff
