Hey guys new to the forum here, looking for some advice on how to clean my wheels. I have a Ducati which has forged alloy wheels. I keep them fairly clean but there is a light haze on the wheel. I don't know if the previous owner did something ot them but none of the usual wheel cleaners seem to do anything, I even tried Tri-X iron and brake dust remover. It looks like oxidation and I'm not sure how to remove it, someone told me that using head light restoration goop was effective at removing oxidation. I tried it and got no results. I'm gonna attach pictures that show what I'm talking about, also I have a weird stain on my LCD gauges that I can't seem to get off either, I've even tried a mild compound like Meguiars Ultimate Compound on it and it won't budge. Thanks in advance for your expert advice.

I want to get rid of the haze and return a rich golden color.
