Default Chrome Polish suggestions?

On my BMW 330D, it has chrome strips around the windows etc. and I was wondering if they needed a specific polish to bring them up really well. Or could I use the Autosol metal polish I use for exhaust tips etc? If not, has anyone a suggestion on a good polish/protectant for said chrome bits.

Cheers

Britemax metal twins.

Autosol would also work, just doesn't give the finish that the twins do

Nice one BODSKI.

Simple two stage kit then looking on Google? Cut to get the oxidisation off and a polish/protectant for a gleeeeeeeaming shine afterwards?

Cheers fella

Exactly that matey.

The second lighter cut is more of a sealant which helps to stop the oxidisation building up next time round
