ok take it from a chrome aholic biker... hit the nearest bike shop (independant would be best ie not brand related) ask for something called BLUE JOB. i used this on pipes to take of surface rust, take out the bluing (i know not a factor here) and leave em gem-shiny... the stuff ia garaunteed not to scratch, just follow the directions, and if you want wax em up after to protect the shine (id suggest the new T.W. ICE)

The aluminum foil and coke really does work for cleaning brake dust, rust, and all the other junk off of my friend's chrome wheels. The first time he told me about it, I thought he was full of it, but then I actually watched him use it. Surprised the hell out of me!

Local shop here recommended a product called "Outer" (water) here. It was kinda like the Extreme Metal Polish. Did work well. If I can't find that next time, I'll take a look for Blue Job.

Cleaning Rust from Chrome
I have detailed motorcycles and restored many antique bikes - best way to clean rust is a BRASS BRUSH (brass is a soft metal) and WD-40. Spray the bristles on the brush and then brush the rust away. I usually purchase the brushes at Harbor Freight these are cheap and the size of a toothbrush and work well.
