Default Cleaning question

When i purchased my scoot, the previous owner didn't clean the best. The problem now is getting the rear rim clean. It has the oem wheel and i believe it is alunium. It has a haze look and i'm having issues getting it to look like it should. I need some suggestions on getting it sparkling. Thanks in advance.

From what's written above, nobody will know what wheel you're talking about. Personally I'd post a picture of the wheel. Or at least state what model & year you have. Then people would know what you're working with
