i use autoglym chrom polish (i think thats what its called) comes in a wee tube.....good stuff and resonably priced.

Normally take some of the crap of with soap and water or WD40........

Find that combo works well for me

Autosol far better than that autoglym stuff for me...

Halfords should have it, TFR from most car spares shops

I use Halfords intensive metal cleaner/polish. Brings my tailpipes up a treat.

Doesn't clean the Audi's though, think I should try and clean it more than once every 18 months

use an oven cleaner mate! seriously! one of the mr muscle bad boys that foam up and then you wipe clean later! they work a treat. hose the car down and then wedge on the cleaner and leave until you rinse soap off the car. tail pipe comes up a treat. once you've done it once its far easier the next time and the next and so on
