Do they still look chrome after a year? I polished mine but they quickly turned bronze again.
I'll have to try Blue Magic.
So far so good. A year and counting, but I probably don't drive my car nowhere near as much as you!
I even used that stuff on some painted parts of my rims to remove tar and other goo. It came right off. Of course I did it by hand.

I use a 8" buffing wheel on an industrial grinder...load with cloth wheel with polishing compound and go nuts. Works fantastic, and its a yearly ritual now.

Cheers,

Mike

As others said, you can polish them and they'll look great. I took mine off, sent them to get chrome plated, and got them back in a week. That was maybe 6+ years ago and they look as killer now as they did on day 1. Hope that gives you another option
