How do I get Swirl marks off the Lip of my Rims?!?!?!

Hey guys...I'm having the toughest time getting the swirl marks off of my SF Challenges. I have tried a regular wash then applied wheel wax but it just doesn't have the mirror finish! Is there anything else I can do? I mean the lips still look good but I want them to look like they just came from the factory

i don't think it can be in clear coat, don't sf-challenge have a anodized lip? I used metal polish before to get rid of mine, it cleared some of em.

ALL Rays Wheels.....Volk Racing rims........are anodized clear coated, except the special SJ stainless jackets. the SF's are anodized cleared. don't use metal polish. clearcoat aint metal. you take care of swirls/blemishes the same way you take care of your bodies blemishes/swirls.

Clay bar a section of your wheel. Taste it with your tongue. If it has no taste, it's clear coated. If it tastes like metal, it's anodized.
