Default Need help with rims...

I have chrome 24's on my truck that I have had for a couple months and I cleaned the truck today and the wheels have been pretty dirty for a couple weeks(road dust, grime, ect.) and they left this dity film behind that I couldn't scrub off with soap and water. What should I do, I have considered using a clay bar, but I do not want to harm the finish.

could you get your hands on some adams green wheel cleaner cus that stuff gets my rims perfect every time. you'll need a boars hair brush though because you have to rub over it abit to get it to work perfect and that brush wont harm the best of rims.
