i just bought the perfect stuff. its called maas. it works the best for any metal. use a soft cloth and rub it on for a long time then wipe it right off.

After working in a die shop for a few years i've learned that all you need to polish dull looking aluminum is.
1. Never dull ( in a silver can) it's a pre soaked cotton/abrasive polish. it does a nice job cleaning and de oxidizing the aluminum
2. 25,000 rpm die grinder with a 3 inch buffing wheel, rub "faboulous" aluminum polish on it and git er dun, it's in a hard stick form. polish and wipe off with a soft rag and it looks like chrome...

i did this with a set of rims i bought recently and from top to bottom it only took me just over an hour and with very mimimal hand work. they looked chrome when i was done.

pretty much any aluminum polish will work fine but for twenty bucks a cheap die grinder will take a ton of work out of it.
