One product I have used on chrome wheels is Blue Magic. It did an excellent job of removing brake dust that would not come off with normal washing. I used it with 0000 steel wool. It can be found at wally world.

Donny C: Go to your nearest hardware store and buy yourself a package of fine grade 4-Ought (0000) grade steel wool. That is the finest grade and, using a circular motion, will polish those hubcaps to a mirror like finish. That is how I keep my Cub Cadet chrome hubcaps super shiny on my restored original and the 82 series which have hubcaps. Avoid any steel wool less that the 4-Ought because the coarser grades will will leave scratch marks in the chrome.

x1 and lube the steel wool with WD-40. WD and fine steel wool work great for polishing chrome. The WD helps keep the steel wool from scratching(fine scratches) the good chrome.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
