I was cleaning the aluminum wheels on my motorcycle yesterday and found
some small dark spots what would you use to polish it? I'm going to try
some Never Dull wadding which I've always liked but wanted something
easier and better. Several months ago I went to the motorcycle show at
the Javits Center in NYC and a guy was selling an aluminum polish that
was incredible. To demonstrate how good it was he polished several soda
cans and the can was just like a mirror you would think it was chrome
when he finished. Unfortunately I was too lazy to wait in line to buy a
bottle and now I don't know what it was. I checked some sites and
even wrote the Javits Center but no luck. I'm going to go to the
local Harley Dealer and see if anyone went to the show and knows what
brand it is. I have got to get some. Did anyone go to the show and
knows the name of it?
Thanks Linda

The funny thing is, I know exactly what you're talking about, because
the same guy, of else someone doing the same demonstration, was at a
Studebaker swap meet a couple years ago selling the same stuff. My
buddy bought a bottle and it actually did work pretty darn well. Now of
course nobody's seen the stuff for sale for two years. (and I have a
timing cover, intake, and a pair of valve covers that all need a
touch-up polish...)

Google is your friend.

Just plug in "aluminum polish mirror" as your search term.

Might be "Gord's Aluminum Chrome Polish"
http://gordsaluminumpolish.com/

Or "Mother's Mag & Aluminum Polish"
http://www.midwayautosupply.com/detailedproductdescription.asp?4453

Or might be one of about 400,000 other hits.

Another polish I have relied on is "Flitz".
