I’m using Mother’s and I really like it. Just polished all the Aluminum on my Valkyrie today. Either by hand or with my Ingersal Rand 3” buffer works well.

Best there is.  Not a paste you have to rub forever.

Good for all metals.  Boot marks.  It's liquid so if you knock it over you're screwed.

I always start on my wheels with mild corrosive wheel/mag cleaner or S100 and scrub the heck out of it with hard brushes or even OOOO steel wool.  Then polish.  No reason to waste polish on dirt.

You might have to start with wet sandpaper. I usually start with 800 - 1000 - 1500 then use Mother’s Mag n Aluminum polish with a powerball.
