There's also a product called Zephyr available from truck shops and some hot rod type suppliers...

Used to have some, it was great stuff.

Another one called Purple Polish, a bit pricey but works really well.

I used to sell both AUTOSOL and PURPLE POLISH to detailers around sydney and eventhough PURPLE POLISH is a bit more expensive, the detailers prefered it.

If the parts are still as received finish (satin) then a good buffing wheel on a LARGE motor is the only way to go.
Plenty of buffing soap and a lot of mess.

I've used Maguires polish on my mags, came up great and lasted a fair while. Heard alot of noise about autosol being too harsh on other forums. And heard heaps rave on about Purple polish but I couldn't find it when I was doing it, so used maguires.
