I have a couple of sets of Aluminum rims, any suggestions for a good polish/cleaner to fix them up? Thanks!

Mother's and Eagle1 both make very good aluminum polishes. Keep in mind though, that they work best on a smooth surface. Using it on a pitted surface will usually only darken them. If the wheels are really bad though, it can only help no matter what.

Also, check out the article on this and other sites like gmtips.com on polishing aluminum wheels. If you're up for a good bit of work it can be very rewarding.

My vote goes for the mothers, but it's the only real polish i've used. I used to just use the spray stuff that is in the bottles like windex, but when i got my 3rd gen the wheels were FUGLY, so I tried mothers cause my dad said it rocked on his old harley he had. Only problem with mothers is it takes FOREVER to do when all your wheels are nasty

I think I recall MikeInAZ saying something about to actually not use that stuff and use wax or something instead.
