    do you mean the wheel or the actual center cap with the lion on it?
    any way on my actual rim's mate i used soapy water and scotch bright mine where not painted though,then used autosol polish they come up a treat!!!!!
    as for the cap i used the same stuff around the edges and just covered the badge.

    download the logo. print it onto coloured sticker. rip off the old badge. stick on the new one then layer on a few coats of 2 pack clear.

    job done.

    (thats if the current ones are beyond repair)

    yer use a strong cleaner
    like a oven clearer or de-greaser
    that gets rid of lots of grime
    but make sure they dont do harm to plaastic (or watever they make centercaps out of )
