Dirt won't come off chrome wheels...

My car has been in my parents' back yard for a little over the past year and a half. Although my parents started it every once in awhile and drove it a few times for me, they didn't keep the car as clean as I used to. There is a dirt/grime build up on my chrome wheels that refuses to come off. So far the best luck I've had is with a combination of Z6 spray and a claybar, and turtlewax polishing compound. It's still a very tedious process though. Is there any sort of "miracle" compound so my lazy ass can spend less time cleaning the car and more time driving in it?

Not sure if anybody cares, but I went to Autozone and bought some "Eagle One Nevr-Dull Wadding Polish". It worked pretty good, much better than the polishing compound that I was using. The hardest part was all the little bolts on my Enkeis. After I used the Eagle One I put on a fresh coat of Z1 and Z5. My wheels look just like they used to before I had to leave the car with my parents.

Nah. I got 16x8 chrome ZR1s on my Z when I bought it and I had to sit down for atleast a half hour with each wheel getting all of it clean. Just be sure to put a good wax on them after you get them cleaned and polished. It'll make that cleaning process a whole lot easier next time.
