Use Solvol Autosol if they are only lightly oxidised/corroded, or a rotary polisher if heavily corroded. You'll then need to either repeat the polishing every few weeks, or spray them with clear coat lacquer to seal them.

Yes, the centre caps push through from behind, though often get stuck in place, as the caps are steel and cause electrolytic corrosion.

A good tip is to use silver aerosol lids which fit most of the centre bores, and don't corrode; they are held in with a bead of silicone sealant on the back. These are the ones I fitted to mine:
