Default How to clean pillars

Is there a good way to clean the pillars? I have tried and tried to get mine to look they they do not have water streaks on them, but can never get it all off. Any suggestions/best practices? Any help would be greatly appreciated.....

I use "Black Chome" or Back To Black." Takes some elbow-grease but they will shine. You do have to do it on a regular basis also.
