Rims?

Ok, don't know what to do here, need some help. I took my honey comb rims off my firebird today and i want to clean them up. Where the honey comb part is all it needs is to have the clear coat be cleaned up. What can I use? Any ideas? Then on the outer part of the rim i need to strip the clear coat completly. What do i use to do this? There are some curb marks and i was wondering if i can get those out? I know the alumium on the rims is soft so don;t want to scrach it. I was told to strip it then glass bead it? Will this look good with clear coat on them and it will match the honey comb part. I not doing that because the honey comb is black. Any ideas here?
