I use wd40 too, breaks down the gunk and something blunt like a wooden ice lolly stick to scratch away at it.  A few goes of that and rub it off with a cloth. To get the chrome shiny again autosol is the usual choice, but it's lightly abrasive so only do it on old chrome or windolene on newer chrome to drag greasy smears off
