I think some here have used claybar on the wheels themselves with some success.

The Mothers Powerball may also work (search for powerball - there are several threads).

I've had good luck on my HRE lips (polished, not chrome) with Mothers Billet cleaner

Not to my knowledge, but I don't have any personal experience.

Clay bar is used on paint which would scratch similarly. It CAN leave scratches on paint if you don't appropriately lubricate the surface so the same thing I assume will happen to wheels. Need to make sure you get as much surface crap off of them as you can with a good soap and water washing, then make sure to lubricate appropriately

Cool, post up your results please

I've had a powerball for several months as well, I just haven't broken it out of the package to try it yet, lol.
