Try a product called Mother's Mag & Aluminium Polish (Mother's is the brand
name). It is a cream type polish that you rub on and then wipe off. I used
to use it for polishing chrome and aluminum on an 18-wheeler that got
really dirty and there was nothing that it wouldn't clean up real quick.
Last time I got some I got it at a truck stop but I think Mother's products
are becoming more widely available so you might find it at a parts store.
Highly recommended.
