most non-acid wheel cleaners will work...
just test on the underside to make sure that they do not deblue the pipes before you use them.
i always start out with just a car shampoo- then if that doesnt get it then i go more aggressive, like wheel cleaners.
you are right that you can deblue with metal polishes, so be careful there. kinda pia to reblue. i have never done it, but i understand the process is with a blow torch and usually with the exhaust off of the car.

btw, wd-40 is also worth trying... again, try it underside first

i would use the car shampoo first, dry them then some wd-40, as another choice

^ Cool, thanks for the advice. I was worried about WD-40, but I'll try your advice and be gentle.
