Remove haze from chrome on 1977 auto

I have an old 1977 automobile that I am currently restoring, but I have run into a problem. The chrome (I am not sure what is actually chrome on the car) seems to have a white cloudy film on it that rubbing compound and terry cloth won't fade. I want to restore the surfaces to their original mirror shine. Is there a way to get of this 27 year old cloudy film on the shiny surfaces of the car?
