I would try some automotive clay. Get a good water/soap lube and clay the wheels down before polishing. I have seen good results with proper preparation before polishing. Wolfgang makes a really good product for aluminum polishing. go to www.autogeek.net for cleaning needs.

I like 'Simple Green'. If they're really dirty, you might have to go to a engine degreaser.

Thanks for the info. I'll try the simple green first then use the clay bar and see how it goes.
