I've only used mothers on my wheels. It did an "alright" job. I have some Adam's Metal Polish #1 & #2 that I am looking forward to try.

Re: whats the best chrome rim polish??

I just bought a new trailer back in Jan and it has chrome rims. I noticed they weren't all that shiney considering they were brand new. I tried a couple different chrome polishes and neither made any differance. The wheels look almost like they had clearcoat overspray on them. I ended up using Brasso and it took the film of and shined the wheels up perfectly.

I guess it depends on the condition of the chrome but if the chrome is really bad, try Brasso.

The best I have tried (and I have tested a LOT) is Einszett Chrome Polishes.
It is made for auto's, but the biker crowd has found it and are now sold on it.

There some local purchase polishes that are ok such as Mothers and Eagle One, but I am really impressed with the Einszett stuff (imported from Germany)

Hope this helps...

There's isn't no best polish. Different rims respond differently to different brands. what works best for one, is awful on another. Consumer reviews don't mean shlt, unless they are talking about the exact same rim you are.
