New Rims!!!....Too Bad They Are Dirty

hey guys, i got some new rims off a buddy of mine, they are 18x8 eagle alloys, check my cardomain page, i got a pic on the first page....the thing is, they were sittin in his garage for a year, and they are a bit dirty! i pressure washed them and it got all the dirt off but they are still dull looking...do i hit them with a buffer? what kind of compound do i use? i picked up some mothers polished and mag cleaner....i tryed a little spot and it turned it alright....should i hit it with a buffer first then do the polish?
