maas chrome (metal) polish is amazing.its american but dont hold that against it.
its still hard to find in the uk,but search its well worth it.vintage car restorers use it.

This has been argued before ::)
heres my take on it

Autosol , good but harsh. takes away a lot of metal and can leave a used frame looking very nickely. very good on alloy and gets a mirror finnish witha bit of effort.

Peek , good cleaner and polishes well , not too harsh and widely acclaimed in the custom car world. lot of effort needed but not bad.

dremmell / polishing mops, blocks of polish. This is the most effective , IF you dont zing the frame with the chuck :idiot2:

Wonder chrome. my favourite , seems to clean the chrome without removing a load of metal and gets the dirt off and shines the chrome very well. comes with a liquid sealer that works very well and cant reccomend this stuff enough, this stuff has out polished all the above with ease.

 
OR
take it to a polisher, and see a new bike come back.
