cleaning oxidized wheels

I have gold GTA wheels that have significant oxidation and blotchiness on the aluminum part. Is there a product that really works to restore and rebrighten these wheels?
I have tried most of the auto store products and they make no difference.

TIA

Mine were like that. You'll have to sand and polish them.
Try a search for detailed instructions.

You'll have to polish them, or sandblast them. Theres no real product to remove this corrosion as it is in the actual metal or the clear coat. Its well worth polishing or blasting them, take your time and post pics when youre done.
