Where did you get them? There is only one place that makes actual chrome ones. Most likely they are polished aluminum not chrome. If this is the case MOTHERS aluminum polish will do the trick. If they are in fact chrome you are SOL.

got from billet customs on ebay... so do think this is likely aluminum????

try neverdull, you can buy it in autozone or advance auto, but you may be sol, if they are alum and not chrome plated they will need to be repolished with a highspeed machine shop buffing wheel, the kind that sits on a staionary pedastel and you hold the piece in your hand very carefully and use a special compound, I use to polish raw aluminum to a mirror finish in my machine shop before I became a lawyer. It can be done with the right equipement and the right compund, you can get them to look like a mirror, but unless you clear coat them, they will have to be redone every once in awhile.
