maybe your lips are clear coated to protect the finish. That would mean you cant polish them.

heard from a friend is that if your lip is made of stainless stell...can be polished till very brilliant.... whereas aluminium cannot... and stains in aluminium cannot be removed..

any comments on this?

If it is coated metal, you can't polish it with a metal polisher, you have to use a neutral cleaner or else the coating will fade, crack or peel. But if you have uncoated metal (lips), the stuff I use is WENOL RED (to clean) / WENOL BLUE (POLISH). It works awesome and I use those on my iForged. The way to check if you have uncoated or coated wheels is rub a bit of polish on the lips and if the towel turns black, it means you have bare (uncoated) metal. Otherwise, it's coated.
