I don't have a polish for my chrome etc and think it's about time I got some as I have bought all new brightwork. Any suggestions? Thanks :)

heard good things about peek metal polish, its not abrasive so it works well on chrome
also chemical guys do a metal wax that protects the polished metal

You want a wax to protect it if its new. A polish is used to clean out grot/ oxidation. Poorboys wheel wax is very good on chrome work.

Never thought of using that on some chrome bits! Going to put some on my grille and bumper!

Polish is an abrasive. Thats how it works 
Peek is a pretty harsh one at that too. Pretty much as abrasive as Autosol
Meguiars Metal Polysh (or however they spell it) is pretty good but I much prefer using Mothers metal polishes which are really really fine for a final polish. Worked well on my polished alloys.
