Apply pressure, how you go about this is hitting them both with a golf club and releasing some of that moisture.

whats happened is called "oxidizing." theres a couple of ways to go about it. u can use sandpaper, nail polish remover, polishing/rubbing compound, etc. just google it, u should come up with several methods of how to do it. but basically it needs to be "scraped" clean.

If they are heavily oxidated, I'd reccomend using a reallllllllllllllly high grit sand paper and doing some wet sanding to remove the layers. After that you want to use some some swirl mark remover and buff/wax the fuck out of them. I followed the directions this dude posted one time on a car forum I go to, if I can find it I'll post them again.
