You're not supposed to polish chrome rims.

Re: mothers powerball PICS

Finally advance autoparts have the small powerball! I did try my big one on my chrome wheels and it didn;t do crap to them. But the ball is too big to fit in tight corners. Now i am going to get the small powerball!

Agreed, there is no reason to polish chrome rims, just like rims that have a protective clear coat on them. All your gonna do is damage your rims. Its only meant for billet rims.
