Default wheel polishing

I have 17 inch 5 spoke, i assume polished aluminum mustang rims. They are scratched. How do i correctly polish them to get rid of the scratches as much as possible?

Agree, Blue Magic is the S**t, I clean everything that shines with that. Available at your local Walmart for few bucks.

I personally use a felt cone with Mother's Mag&Aluminum polish on a drill.

Let's just say you can shave in them.

If you want an actual method to polishing aluminum I'll write out all the steps I used for polishing stuff to a mirror finish.
