did a quick search, and the racing harts have an anodized lip, so any polishing is out of the picture. Try a clay bar with lots of lube, I've had good luck with that on my anodized SSR's

Most iForged if all do not have clearcoated or anodized lips, they are raw metal, so you can just use some metal polish and it should come right off.

any wax will work on any types of lips, but meg's gold class has carnuaba in it which melts pretty quickly from the heat of the brakes. A better choice would be a full synthetic sealant, such as meg's #20 polymer sealant or #21 synthetic sealant, or one of the wheel wax products alot of people are using.

thats a pretty aggresive way to clean them, and acids react differently on various clearcoats. I wouldn't recommend this except for a final option before having them stripped and refinished just to see if it works. There are many much safer options to try first before going to a strong acid to remove brake dust
