Default wheel polish

What's a alumminum polish that really works that will give a stock harely wheel a glossing mirror shine?

As said earlier - Mother's. I have the 10 spoke wheels on my 07 Lowrider and they are a f/n pain to take care of.&nbsp\\; The Mother's worked fine - actually with very little elbow grease - lol.
Unfortunately, I dont have the $$ right now to get the wheels chromed. :-(

Lots of suggestions in the detailing section of the forum.&nbsp\\; Mothers get a lot of attention.

Mothers is just okay. Simichrome is much better and leaves a protective coating. You can find it online or at most BMW motorcycle shops.
