Which Chrome polish do you guys Like/Use?

I have always been happiest with the typical Dupont green bottle white creamy liquid chrome cleaner/polish. I suspect it is relabeled in a number of other brands. It always seemed to have a slight ammonia? odor, an active? ingredient and it seemed to remove any hints of rust well. The polishes without these features always seemed to be lacking. It is also my thinking it however ONLY cleaned and polished the chrome finish, but well, and a final coating of wax was in order if one wanted to add any protection, albeit limited and short lived, with a straight paste wax.
 
Can't remember the name of the chrome polish my room mate used on his bike (Dupont?) but I knew it was more of a cleaner than a polish and within a year his chrome was looking dull. Don't know about now but Mother's used to be pretty good stuff.
I used Mother's for the aluminum wheels and fuel tanks on my Peterbilt, and it worked well. On the chrome bumper and stacks , turtle wax chrome cleaner worked better and cheaper, and I was pleasantly surprised how long a can would last. On the GTX, I just use wax, as recommended by @dadsbee. I'm using up my left over metal cleaners on my wheelchair wheels, Mother's for the aluminum rims, and turtle wax polish on the spokes.

I always discovered and felt polishing alum and chrome are two very different animals.
Chrome being so hard polishing is not really a thing vs cleaning.
