If you're doing an otc product, I'd say billet alum polish on a mini powerball.
If you'd like to more of a chemical cleaner, clearkote metal polish and english custom make some killer metal polishes.

Either route you take, I'd definitely suggest putting a coat of wheel sealant on them to protect them once you're done polishing. It'll make future cleanings a breeze.

Here ya go:
i just cleaned my chrome wheels today and what i did was used was since they were already pretty clean since i washed the truck yesterday was used some poorboys quick detailer and a microfiber towel. then i used some poorboys polish using a microfiber applicator and then used a microfiber towel to buff off. then used the poorboys wheel sealant again applying with a microfiber applicator and buffing off with a microfiber towel.
heres how they turned out
And yet another who did a test w/ the Poorboys wheel sealant:
"Since being introduced to the Poorboys line up by Chris at Glimmer Glass... ive been nothing but happy with every product ive used... they all do what they say they will do and some do a bit more... this happens to be one that does exactly what i expected/hoped it would do... so onto the experiment
this is approximately a weeks worth (300+miles) of brake dust build up.. the wheels have 3 coats of Poorboy's Wheel Sealant on them... 2 were done at the "big" detail i did and one was done recently to refresh/reinforce...
as you can see the wheels are absolutely filthy... OEM brembo pads are notorious for dusting a ridiculous amount...anyway... today i did my weekly wash before our tuesday night meets... i use my pressure washer to do my pre-rinse becuase it helps get the bugs and **** off the front end... along with the bug squash... heres a shot after i hit half the wheel with the PW..
as you can see the dust is almost completely gone... it just pretty much rolled right off the wheel... i took a short.. non-audio .. video clip so that people could see how i got the results.... id say this got 99% of the dust off the wheel... i just followed like i normally do with a damp rag to get the extremely stubborn parts...
this product gets a 5 out of 5 in my book!"

You would want to clean each wheel as best as possible then use the sealant on it. Apply 2 coats initially for a great base, then another each time you would normally rewax the car to keep up the protection.

yes! This is exactly where the poorboys wheel sealant shines. I think I've posted it here before, but some members on another forum did a test after picking up the wheel sealant from me.
