Cool how do you clean these alloys

i can buy a set of origanal 15" honda alloys for 100 euros
these will fit my prelude, their the wonky ninja star alloys of a integra, they are shiny chrome but 2 of them have like corrosion spots on them, (not bad 1 or 2 patches)

i saw wheeler dealers before and edd china used stuff on the same type of wheels for an mr2
does anyone know what stuff he used, or any other stuff ye would know of
thanks, prevtec

Shame they wont fit.

I used citric acid on mine which I got from a health food shop. With a bit of scrubbing the wheels came up great.
