Exterior chrome cleaning/care?

I tried posting this in the detail forum with little result. Though I'd ask it in here. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get spots off the expterior dark chrome on W202's. For some reason I've been unable to get them off with vinegar water, straight vinegar, or Spray Away. Any suggestions? Are there any polishes out there safe enough to use on it?

Mothers Metal Polish. You can get it at walmart. Try it in an inconspicuous area first. I've never used it that part but it does work on the grill, emblem, and exhaust.

If it works on the grille and the other chrome parts it should work on the dark chrome too. I'll give it a shot. Thank Doug.

Dent Remover

Yeah, believe it or not GS-27 scratch remover (oops!) works! I would just try a test spot though.
