This is not superficial dirt. The surface is pitted. Its not coming off.

so i tried claybarring (with LOTS of lube) almost everything i can get on the lip. then i polished with this incredible product:

i'm telling you it does wonders :)

for those of you wanting to try this method, don't be scared after claybarring if the lip becomes hazy. mother's billet polish will clear it right up :thumbup:

I've got the Ro_Ja badged version of that wheel. Could you post full pictures? What is the sizing of the wheels?

I was going to suggest metal polish, glad the Mother's stuff worked.

Wow! Good job cleaning that up... Does your lip have a clear coat?

I am aware they are Gram Lights. That is why I said I have the Ro_Ja badged version rather than saying I have the same wheel.
