Polishing Chrome Side Pipes

I know to use a good wax on chrome wheels and window cleaner on stainless steel, but what about chrome side pipes? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

OK thanks, I'm going to do the dawn>clay>wash>polish>polish>polish routine tomorrow. I was just worried about the temperature burning the Zaino and discoloring the pipes.
Thanks for the tip

I use the chrome polish made by Harley-Davidson, cost about %8 a tube. Works great on the bike as well as the side pipes.

I use Autosol from Eastwood on all chrome. Polishes to a deep luster and protects well. It also restored my plastic tail light lenses to almost new condition.

(From Eastwood catalog)
Autosol Metal Polish

World-famous Autosol polish provides a brilliant gloss and long-lasting weather protection on all metals from aluminum to zinc. It removes rust and oxidation without excessive abrasion - perfect for chrome and nickel plated parts. Great for polishing fiberglass and plastics, too.
