I use mothers wheels polish, and to clean them I just wash the car every week so dirt cant get a chance to build up on anything rims and body.

You don't want to use Never Dull on chrome since it has light abrasives in it. This will cause fine scratches and swirls all over the chrome. For chrome you want to use a chemical polish with no abrasives in it.
