Thoroughly rinse surface to remove any loose surface dirt or dust.
Wash the surface with a d-Limonene-based (citrus) APC cleaner (P21S® Total Auto Wash)
Use a cleaner (Simichrome or Klasse All-In-One) to remove any surface blemishes
Use a mild polish (P21S® Multi-Surface Finish Restorer) to prevent re-oxidation and provide a water-resistant coating and restore lustre to the chrome
To restore chrome that is pitted or has rust spots, remove with #0000 synthetic bronze wool and /or a metal polish (Auto Wenol Blue, or use Red for chrome restoration)
Finally apply a polymer sealant (Zoopseal) to provide lasting protection
Due to the softness of the metallic plating it is very easy to induce a swirl marks to the finish so use straight-line motions only. Use a soft brush to remove any dried polish from seams or folds. For both chrome and highly polished aluminum, use a mildly abrasive metal polish(Iz Einszett Metal Polishor Groit's Chrome Polish).

Thats a very comprehensive write up mate, but i doubt very much they will actually be metal, just chrome coloured plastic (i will stand corrected if i'm wrong). In which case, your method would not do them much good at all.

I always answer on the assumption that the person who asks the question knows what the material is or what the surface finish is. If you cannot answer such a fundamental question you should not even attempt to clean it
theres no such thing as solid chrome, chrome is an electro plated finish less then .5mm thick. i think if it is the same as mine.......they are polished aluminium
