Here's another one that I've been using for years with good results on vintage parts. Something I picked up in my favorite LBS back in Rochester, NY for $6.95.

"Quick-Way Quick-Glo Chrome Cleaner and Rust Remover" comes in an 8oz jar, and is made by the "Quick-Way Brand Corp of Niles, IL."

On the label it reads "The best way is the Quick-way for removing rust, grease, and grime on bicycle parts - rims, handlebars, hubs, etc....polishes as it cleans!" It does seem to be very mildly abrasive, but I've used it on a wide variety of parts with excellent results.
