I use Alcoa's polishing and sealing system.  Don't be afraid of abrasives with unpainted aluminum.  You have to remove the oxide layer.

I also have used Alcoa's 3 step wheel cleaner for 4 yrs and it is good. The sealer sure does keep it nice for a long time

Where can one purchase the Alcoa Alumimun Care kit?  I've looked on their site and on e-bay without success.

I have used the alcoa product also, works good very pricy. Just stumbled on this Gords product, guess since there doesn't seem to be a lot of experience,  I may be the ginny pig.

Being a cheap sort.. 
I use aluminum foil (waded up) as a scrubber along with regular Coka Cola.  Finish up with aluminum polish.
Also works for cleaning a toilet, battery, etc., etc.. what you don't use mixes well with rum tooooo..
Recall.. Coke will dissolve a T-Bone, nail, etc., in short order. pc
