I'd use a '0000' grade steel wool, they should come up like new

Lighter fluid works well, also do you remember those double eraser you used to get at school pencil one side ink the other the ink side works well.

I use this a lot on my training wheel, that are Alu. It´s a copy of the Mavic one, or maybe the Mavic one is a copy of this?

Just for information - never use acetone on carbon rims as it attacks the resin.
