My chrome fr500s are getting oxidized/a litte pitting. What can I use to clean them that wont harm the finish. I am thinking about using some mothers polish?

I use Mother's Chrome polish for my exhaust tips. Works awesome. Never tried it on rims as I still have the stockers.

I use Poorboys Professional Polish on the chrome Cobra R's on my T-Bird, but only after washing them. Got to get rid of any grittiness before polishing. I've used Blue Magic, Mothers, & Meguiers polishes too with good results.

the best chrome polish i've ever used is stuff that is created for semi trucks, since they go miles and miles collecting bugs that sit on there for weeks at a time, this stuff has to be good to bring the chrome back i just found this one for pretty cheap
