Most mouldings are stainless steel, so Autosolve or something similar is usually good
or one of the stainless Polish they sell for kitchen sinks etc,

Steelo pads. the soapy ones and water do a great job especially "before" putting chrome bits on the car. Try and rub away from paintwork.

I dont use wet and dry I just use a good stainless polish, I always try to By Australian Made products, However in This area I find The German Made Products are The best.
by a long way, I am not saying this because of My Sir Name ( My Sir Name is swedish Not German ) :)
