best bet is use power washer to get all the nasty brake dust and grime off it and then use the mag cleaner to polish them up a bit then mount them.

go to walmart or something and find the black bottle of 3m fine cut rubbing compound or something that is safe for clear coats...use a buffer or by hand and rub the wheel...stains will come out.

then seal it with like meguires NXt wax which is a polymer and will last longer or something else.

i did this to my rims, and prez's rims and it works great. it brings back the shine and looses the oxidation and stains.

i have a DIY too but thats using a product that takes a bit longer but its the same concept.
