I don't think they really coat chrome as chrome is a coating. Hell, they may even coat chrome now.
For Chrome and some aluminum I use Mothers Products
Here is a test you can do on non chromed metal to see if it is coated or not.
Clean the surface and dry it (wash it)
Take a clean cloth and a dab of any polish (Brasso even) and rub a small spot
If the cloth turns dark it ain't coated.
Try it on abeer/soda can the top is coated the bottom is not.
If you have aluminum you need to polish, I can get you names of products I use on my Fatboy Rims.
Aluminum + Brake Dust + Water = Wheel Cancer

The stuff I use is something called S-100.You can only get it at Harley Davidson dealers.Its a powdery type that comes with a type of rough pad.You get the pad wet,dip it in the soap and apply it.Let it dry to a powder and wipe off.Then I use some wheel wax.I get alot of compliments on how nice my wheels look.
