I used some stuff called Flitz. I got it from my neighbor who said he got it from a swap meet, lol. Either way, you can order it online, and it works much faster and better than Mother's aluminum polish.

You know, i once got some stuff from a funny smelling hippie at a truck stop once. long story short i was in Texas three days later calling my mother..... no i'm kidding.
I got this Nano one? i think its called stuff from my Uncle who got it somewhere, but i'm pretty sure i saw it at the parts store. it holds up ok.

Tried it out by hand on the wheels. Sunday i will be using the cone and drill so expectt more shine. This one wheel took five minutes and it was effortless.

My dads buddy gave me 2 cans of foaming industrial aluminum polish when I got my Eagle Alloy wheels. That **** is bomb. Terry cloth and 10 minutes a wheel and they look awesome.
