I did this one time on a set of camaro wheels. used a buffer and mothers aluminum polish. anyhwere the buffer would get was really nice and easy to do, the spots that had to be done by hand really sucked and took a long a$$ time. but it works if you want to put in the effort. the wheels have already been sold or i would take a pic too show the results.
mothers aluminum polish ay? how much is that cost? and it brought it back to its original high polished shine? ill have to try it... thanx!

Ok man i will give this one more time for you. go out and get mothers mag and aluminum polish. it comes in a little jar, red with a white lid. you also will want a buffer if the area you are doing can get to it. if not you can hand buff it but will take twice as long. apply mothers to the area of the wheel and too the buffer and have at it. do the whole area once and give it like 5 minutes or so to sit. then take a clean rag and wipe off the polish. repeat the steps i just said again and again and again. or until you think the wheel looks good. it will take you more then one time just to let you know. good luck and i hope this time i actually helped you.
