Default how can i buff this lip out ?????

I have some 410 mesh rims from monarch-wheels.com and the lip is dull. I wanted to know if anyone has some idea of how to do so or product to make this lip shine like chrome or close to it.

LIp is probably clear coated,most of them seem to be these days.Use a clay bar to get the debris out of the rim,then try a metal polish on a small area......ishould go black if it is contacting metal,if not it is clear coated.At that point you need to use either a rubbing compound or mild grit paint polish to work the surface flat and clean again.Then work your way up to finer polish and high speed buffer,then wax and buff again.

I jsut did my rims and was about to sell them they looked so bad after the year on car,after cleaning them up they look new again.....took about 2 hours per rim.
