If you just want to smarten up some pitted, rust flecked chrome, gentle rubbing with fine steel wool soaked in oil works easily and well. Chromium plate is extremely hard and won't be scratched or damaged unless you use considerable pressure on the steel wool. I've cleaned endless chrome parts this way and never had a problem.
