How about any of the many aluminum wheel polishing compounds Pep Boys sells? Sorry, no personal experience with any of them.

Yeah iv'e tried using Meguiar's Gold Class metal polish which is a finer polish great for oxidation but not harsh enough for removing scratches., Aslo tried Amazing Billet by mother which is absolutly amazing polish for deep cleaning and show-shine but these polishes seem not to remove scratches.

I even tried Eagle-1 Alumnum polish whihc is a heavy duty (jewler's rouge) type of grit formula, great for heavy oxidiation, a bit harsher than other but can't exactly take care of those swirls
