cleaning painted iroc rims

I have the gold accented iroc rims and they are a little stained(fronts are darker than the rear). What would be the best cleaner to use? Ive tried the usual sprays just curious what others have used.

Soak them in undiluted simple green, let them soak a while, then do it again. If it's still won't come off, try to scrub them with a scotchbrite pad(not too hard).

Sure you can leave it on. I spray it on the tires, it cleans them as well.
