Weathered aluminum wheels

Wondering if anyone has dealt with cloudy, weathered aluminum wheels? I was able to rub out a ton of tarnishing and deep dirt with the products I have, but there are a few stains that kicked my butt. The wheels are very shiny and look outstanding, minus a few cloudy areas. My analogy is that you have a bright blue sky with tons of sunshine, but then a few gray clouds show up to ruin the fun. I have tried everything I can think or to try that is safe enough not to mke the problem worse. Just wondering if there is a sleeper product out there anyone knows of. !!

Re: Weathered aluminum wheels

Depending on the finish you are after, I've used #0000 steel wool with mothers polish before with good results. You get a lot of "cut" with this combination.
