Chrome Plated ABS polish?

What do you guys use to get your chrome accessories looking new again? I have alot of chrome plated ABS on my truck and it is starting to fade and become oxidized. Anything out there that can shine them back up?

The nickle content is usually pretty low, so I wouldn't use any heavy cutting polishes. I would start with a good cleaner wax. Cleaner waxes have some abrasiveness, which should cut through the haze and leave a protective coating over it. If that doesn't work, I would step up to a clay bar. Lastly I would try either a billet or very light aluminum polish.

I'm not sure how well it will work with the automotive stuff, but I've had good luck with non-marring rubber erasers cleaning light surface rust/corrosion from firearms and pennies.
