I believe your clear coat is coming off and it's oxidizing your lip. This is also happening to me as well. You can try to use chrome polish, but that will not fix the problem. Only way will be refenish them which I will do soon.

Are the lips chrome or polished aluminum?

im not sure but im leaning towards aluminum how can you tell?

Take a small dab of aluminum polish on a mf. Gently wipe back and forth. If the mf turns black, you are removing oxidized aluminum. If nothing comes off, they are chrome. :)
