P21S Wheel Cleaner would be your best bet for the wheel cleaner.

Then for the lips I would use Adam's Metal 1 and 2

For the face of the wheels I would use Swissvax Autobahn.

Sorry no lips on this write up but please take a look:

Wheels:
Before:



P21S Wheel Cleaner Gel


Some brushes to clean up the wheels:



Swissvax Cleaner Fluid and Swissvax Autobahn to wax and seal up the wheels/Swissvax Pneu on the tires



After wheels:

Hey tbal, how do you clean the wheel you got in the pic? Just got my shoes on the ride and was curious how to maintain it and how to keep the lip shining , thanks for the info.
