shit we used gas to clean anything in the army but i was joking about the rims it will eat the clear coat off. anything dull metal gas will clean perfectly lil bucket a tooth brush and nice gloves will work. on the rims try brasso its in the hardware store should get it right its used to polish silverware and faucets and shit.

Which rims are you looking to shine? if they are aluminum them they can be polished. if they are infact chrome your going to have a tough time getting them looking good!
