Try motorcycle shops, too.  And don't forget Flitz.  Go easy with whatever 
you do use.  Some chrome plating is thin.  And remember the black nearby is 
just paint, which will first get polished, then come off rapidly with any 
abrasive in the polish.  EASY does it.  The slightest touch of polish to a 
piece of old cotton t-shirt WILL remove light corrosion.
