Check the concours forum. I think they like simichrome polish. There is stuff that comes in cotton wadding that works good to get rust and tough dirt as well.

Not quite on topic but.. If you have some rusty chrome like exhaust chrome tips, use crumpled aluminum foil and water. Cleans rusty chrome like magic.
