A good aluminum polish, some terry towels, and a whole lot of time.

Meguiar's Hot Rims Mag and Aluminum Polish works great. If you don't mind to order something, then a product called Mr. Buffer has worked wonders for me in the past.

to start, take it to the car wash...

then hit it with whatever they have available for tire cleaning. most times its a green foam. after that switch the selector to brush and scrub your butt off then rinse it.

you've just saved yourself an hour of polishing, follow with any thing you would like.

I hit them up quick with the Diamond Brite, and woah, 15 minutes later rims are like new.

Another 15 minutes, woah, my truck box is polished.

Spending that 1/2 an hour staring at my trucks shine... priceless.
