On chrome rims you want to be careful what you are using to clean them. Make sure you don't use anything with an abrasive in it. I use a chemical polish on mine and then put a sealant over that to protect them. The brake dust will wipe right off.

As far as windows, I've had the best luck with Stoner's Invisible Glass and newspapers.

Yes Walmart has about the best price I've seen besides Sam's Club. They have a 3 pack deal.

I use Poorboys Pro polish and then put on a couple of layers EX-P sealant. Brake dust and dirt comes off so easy.
