You want my advice? That's too many spokes to clean, I'd either do a half-donkied job, or ride em dirty.
Seriously, they don't look half bad, I'd see what soap and water and a rag do to shine up the rim surfaces. Otherwise you are going to be polishing. Maybe some type of a buff ball for shining up car chrome would make it less labor

The rim set have a white to dark build up on them,the person I bought them off of said they left rust dissolver on them for to long
 
Cleaning them up was always such a pain. I ended up changing mine for regular 36 spokes on a daily bike, and the other set I've powdercoated black.
I've spent hours with chrome oxide polishing paste and a piece of rag to get around each of the spokes before cruises and shows.
 
Fat string and simichrome paste. Then put it in plastic until the next bike show.

This reminds me of how I hate Chrome spokes. I need to order stainless spokes for my front wheel.
