It depends on how bad they are. If they're not showing pock marks or corrosion I use Simichrome. If they're significantly deteriorated I use 0000 steel wool followed by Simichrome.

WARNING: The steel wool helps for a while on damaged chrome, but will put micro-scratches in the chrome, so don't use it on good chrome.
