I had pretty good luck using chrome polish and a very rough terry cloth
towel. They don't look brand new, but pretty close to it. Rub the chrome
polish until it turns into a black haze, then wipe the haze off with a
separate, clean, soft towel. If you have any stains you might try removing
them first with solvent before applying the chrome polish.
