You may want to try P21S wheel cleaner w/ scrubbing tough areas, followed by Eagle One NEVR DULL on the polished lip. If that all works, finish with a top coat of Wheel Wax.

I know this doesn't directly answer your question - good luck in your search, if you decide only a pro can fix the finish. You might also post this question over in the detailing forum, if you didn't already.
