Cleaning Chrome

Hi, i recently got chrome mirror caps and additional headlights and I was wondering whether there is a special chrome cleaning product that MINI2ers use for these parts, or if the chrome will be ok with normal cleaning.

Thanks for any help.

Just normal cleaning, and a drop of Autoglym super resin polish now and again.

Not recommended to use metal or chrome polish - to harsh.

I have a chrome polish paste from BWM, I like it because it removes the small rust dots or whatever it is.

still waiting.. for a better time
