Re: Best way to clean this
Best way? A great source or two would say:
Clean it. Simple green should work, then wipe it off. Sand the scratches out. Depending on scratch, start at 400 & work your way to 3000 o so. I'd be real careful with any 400. Take your time. Carefully polish with white rouge & a soft flannel buff. Treat it. Admire your wheel. I've only gone so far as sanding. Turned out nice.

GoJo Cherry with pumice works very well.

Re: Best way to clean this
I assume this is the same wheel you said was blue paint on a black wheel? Do you want to keep the blue paint while removing the discoloration, or are you looking for methods to prepare for new blue paint?

Re: Best way to clean this
I'd probably go with simple green to get the dirt knocked off.
My body guy gave me a good trick to polish mine. Make a paste with Comet and a little water. Rub it out with a rag and you'll be surprised how nice it comes out. If you have deep scratches, you could use 2000 grit sandpaper before the Comet.
