Default Cast Wheel Cleaning

I have a 100th Anniversary, Gold spoke with the grey cast outer ring. The outer ring is filthy and makes the whole rim look like ****.. Anyway to scrub the outer rim and clean the gold up again ? What chemical or a special brush ? Technique?

Thanks guys.

My favorite foe wheel cleaning is a Simple Green. Non caustic/toxic and really cuts the crud. Apply and scrub lightly with a wheel brush.
