Default i use windex on things like my exhaust tips and chrome parts of my grille
just a thought, i dunno if its good for stuff or not, but i've been using it awhile and don't notice any ill effects.

Default I'm guessing the polished lip is not clearcoated? If it isn't get some metal polish ...
(autosol has always worked great for me) and polish them back up to a mirror finish!

If they are clearcoated, do not use this method!

Default If it's bare polished aluminum ...
.
I recommend Eagle 1 Billet Aluminum polish. Works great on my HRE's.
