Had a Harley for twenty years used nothing but a .98 cent bottle of Turtle Wax Chrome Polish.

First, you need to get rid of the dust/dirt on them WITHOUT SCRATCHING THE CHROME. It is best to flush the chromed parts with water, then wash them with soapy mitt/sponge. But, if you are at a show without any water, you need to use a clean microfiber towel and lightly wipe the metal parts to rid them of 'hard' particles first.

After that, Windex, chrome polish, glass cleaner...all work pretty well.
