Speedy metal polish is good too.

I have purchased every aluminum polish available. I've gone to the Mid America truck show and ck'd out every brand of polish. Mothers has to be the worst of the bunch, too much work not enough results!
The purple California polish works good. White Diamond that is available at places like Advance AP is good. There's one called the lazy man's wheel polish that works well and they also have a mild acidic cleaner that removes oxidation before you polish. Also another one that works well is Smith's and it comes in different grades of coarseness.

Ok I will stick my 2 pennies in also, Flitz is my metal polish of choice. Hatteras yahts' factory is located here where I live and alot of the guys I know that work on them swear by it. They also make a polish for plastics and fiberglass that works very well. I have used the Zephyr also and was very pleased with it as well. Now if I could just find the time to use them, everyone is not retired you know Mr Larry!

What works:

Walmart carb. cleaner, Walmart break parts cleaner, less than $2.50 for a 14.5 Oz. can. Jeff Taylor Performance cylinder wall preparation, calling it a hone job just doesn't give the process full recognition.

Pro Trans, Joel's on Joy, and Arnett Transmission.

Here's another product that works great. This non abrasive polish works good on aluminum but also works on plastic like lexan windshields. Same company makes other plastic polish also and I have been able to get overspray off of plastic with it.

Vic, I've been using Turtle Zipwax wash and wax for quite now. You have to scrub it with a long handled brush, but eventually it gives a bit of shine to the vehicle.
It's not Blue Corral, but hand waxing an RV or an enclosed trailer just ain't my thing.

What works is a Allen Sherman built racing engine, a clutch built by the Hyatt's, and Mark Lelchook headers....

Want to get the streaks off of your trailer, RV, or motorhome without the alot of elbow grease. "LA's Awesome" cleaner. I get it at Dollar Store. Others have it also. Only $1.00 a bottle. Spray on wipe off.
