Use some 0000 steel wool to start that will lift what's on the surface then go back over that with your polish...also use cotton with the polish

Would a good acid based wheel cleaner work? I've seen acid take off some nasty stuff that I never imagined would come off.

You can do that or use a little bit of Sprite (soft drink). I know that one sounds funny and it is straight out of the 60's but the citric acid helps and as long as the steel wool is 0000# (quad ought) it won't scratch the chrome. 000# (triple ought) doesn't seem like it's much different but is just course enough that it will scratch most chromes. This one won't set you back much but it will surprise you. It works on both rust and hard water spots.

How about a Picture?

I use Cleaner wax & 0000 steel wool.

Here's a picture of the power of cleaner wax mushed into some steel wool.
