Lots. I use a auto buffer and an esoteric combination of mystery compounds. I will tell you, but I have to kill you if you read past this point. Colonel Brassy Metal Polish, Zep 5 Star Polish, any auto store tripoli based rubbing compound and rouge based polish. My favoite stuff was given to me by a trucker. It was a home brew called Louisiana Gator Piss. It's a mixture of lighter fluid, liquid teflon and ground charcoal. It's now commercially made under the name Cooper's. I got a set of 3 color coded wool bonnets for my polisher that's real handy. The important thing with a polisher/ buffer is it has to be able to run at fairly slow speeds to avoid scorching the aluminum
