Cleaning minilites?

Hey guys,
Just got my mini back and the minilites on it have these weird arse marks on the polished lip, looks almost like old polish. Waked out the Autosol but didn't do any good but if I scratch at it for a bit with my nail it slowly coms off. Problem is I dont have that much nail to spare.... Anyone got any ideas on how to get rid of it. Sand it off? Or is that gonna mark the steel?

Also theres all those tiny rust spots all over the bumpers again Autosol and my nails do the job but does anyone know anything better? Should I blow some money on a Mothers Powerball?

    a heavy cut pad (ment for paint buffing) with some medium range cutters,

    dont use the liquid stuff, u want it to be a bit chunky, spray some water with it and bobs your uncle.

    this will fix the marks on the alloy mags and the bumper.

    dont use anything abrasive on the wheels, and for the bumper u can also use really really really really fine steel wool w/ any sort of cleaner (even windex)

    the cutters with water u may also be able to do by hand if u dont have a machine, may just take longer.

    and depending on the outcome u may have to use metal polish after buffing the wheel, but maybe not.

    the cutters and the metal polish will make a mess of the wheel, so you will want to wash/blast all the sh**t off, if i gets a few too many days in the sun it will NEVER come off.

    ( i dont mean that literally, just a unpleasant individual to get off )

    You could always keep them boxed like mine......have 2 sets (8) of 14 x 6 for Escort. All for sale, but in NZ.
