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

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.

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.
