Default Cleaning Chrome Wheels?

Is there any way to clean chrome wheels to keep that shine? Everytime I been cleaning them, I usually just wash them with soap and then use Mothers chrome polish over it, however all it takes is 30min of driving and the wheels get nasty again with dirty and other crap. Anyone can recommend a solution that works much better then what I'm currently doing?

This may work for you (a little time consuming though)

I just bought some Poorboys wheel sealant, smells like watermelons and is supposed to keep the wheels clean.

Well, first off if it only takes 30mins for the brake dust to cake back on there.
How about getting new pads?
They do have some that make less carbon or whatever that crap is...

Other than that, I just use this stuff at my work(Carwash) called Simoniz Brake Away

This non-acid rim cleaner, that cleans ANY and EVERYTHING!
Stuff works amazingly great.
My rims stay clean for days on end.

Oh and as for Pads, I use Hawk Performance
Barely if ever see any brake dust.
Actually, I've never seen it cake on there...
