Default What to use to clean and polish trim rings?

What would be a good way to clean and polish my stainless wheel trim rings with?
I keep getting light scratches on the trim rings when I clean and use a chrome/stainless polish on them. They get a dull look instead a shinny look.

Adam's Metal Polish, both 1 & 2. Also use their microfiber applicators to prevent scratching.

Use a metal polish that is specific to the type of metal being polished. You then should "coat" it. Nothing more than soap/water needed for more than a year. Protect it and forget it.
