Default Chrome Rim Cleaner. Suggestions????

Hey, well now that I have my chrome fr500s, what is the best product out there to clean chrome rims with and keep them clean. I already have the Mothers Powerball thing you atach to the drill which is good, but what solution should I use, or should I just use the Mothers Chrome Polish thing??

I would highly recommend Clearkote Metal polish. I only use this product on my wheels and it is AWESOME.

BLING!?^^^^^^^^^^^^
anyway, i use a spray on cleaner as of recent.. meguiars... its safe for chrome atleast the one i have and does a very sweet job with minimal effort, but i plan on getting the little Mothers Polishing ball to help out... although i must say my chrome rims are very much teh bling, especially for stockers.

Are your wheels the ones that came stock on the 01 cobras first? It looks like they are in your pic. If they are they are not chrome, they are polished with clear over them. I have them on my 01 cobra vert and it was one of only 2 or 3 options.
