Default I have the magic you need!

first hit it with an Aluminum Acid, such as MPI's Alumi-Clean. Use an abrasive sponge to get the caked stuff off after u let the acid sit for 3 min or so.

Then clean them off and get a good coat of mothers MAG & ALUMINUM Polish.

I can now clean my wheels with water and a quick swipe of a sponge and they are like i sat there and polished them.

good luck!

Default are they unfinished or painted?

If painted, have you tried claying them?

A photo of the problem (after washing with mild soap and soft brush) might help others give better advice.
