My wheels have some spots on them I cant seem to get clean. I am using TurtleWax Chrome Polish and Rust Remover along with a Mothers Powerball Mini, and it gets the rest of the wheels looking really well, it just the spots in the corners I cant seem to get (I dont think the powerball is getting all the way in there).
Is there any kind of chemical or cleaner I can use on them that wont damage the chrome finish, or another type of polish I should be using?

Yeah they are pitted, but the dirt is all gunked up in there. You cant really notice it as bad when the dirt inst in there, I am just trying to figure out how to get all the grime and dirt out of there. The chrome is not peeling off or anything though. They were like that when I got them, minus the dirt built up in there.
