I would only use metal polishes if the chrome finish was originally highly polished. If however, the finish is the usual matt or 'satin' camera finish, then the previous recommendation - tooth brush and diluted detergent - is the best way forward. Where one is dealing with an assembled body; you will find that a good wipe over with a cloth dampened with Ronsonal, followed by a good rub up with a DRY tooth brush can work wonders.

On certain types of body, I have cleaned the metalwork with a detergent dampened cloth - followed by the tooth brush. I felt happy using this method in those instances; not knowing your camera types, I can only say 'proceed with caution' if you do try this. People have very different ideas of what constitutes a 'dampened' cloth - water droplets drying out on internal optics tend to leave very visible marks.
